    Exactly. He's such a hypocrite. Invested in start up companies in Mauritius for tax avoidance purposes which essentially screwed over the local government. Ask him about his allegiance with Tony Blair and Gordon Brown...I put him in the same league as bono.

    There just happens to be a Boomtown Rats documentary on RTE during the week.

    Coincidence or what?

    He really over rates himself as an artist. About 2 good songs. He's no Bob Dylan.


    2 good songs is slightly underrating, but don't underestimate the impact of the Rats on Ireland in the late 70s. The absolute buzz of Rat Trap getting to number one in the UK charts and being on Top of the Pops was more than a bit special. In those days, Irish performers in the UK were Val Doonican and Terry Wogan. Lizzy had done their thing but were in decline at that stage. To see someone who was 'our generation' getting to the peak of popular success, at the forefront of the exciting and emerging New Wave movement was very special.



    And then there was Live Aid.



    I don't like Bob, even more so since I heard he was partying with B. Johnson after the UK election.


    But don't underplay his importance in his day.


    Great interview, probably absolutely unique in all the thousands of interviews that Geldof has done over the years.

    When he does it it's cool though, Johnny Logan is a legend.

    What is the crack with Tiernan and sex talk? Every interview he tries to bring it up, usually vulgarily..

    Where did he even pull this question from??

    Sounds like he's worrying about his own performance and aeging. 'I'm 50, what's it like at your age?' Kinda thing.

    Little known fact is that Geldof's solo album Sex, Age and Death is one of the finest Irish albums ever

    I saw them live a couple of times.

    Bob screaming the rats are the "best band in the f*cking world" was one thing he has said that I didn't fully agree with.

    The Bol*lix never invited Phil Lynnott to Live Aid.

    That's enough for me.

    Can't stand Geldof, but that was brilliant...must have been 4 minutes there that Tiernan didn't say a word.

    Thats the thing with ageing rock-stars. They never dress appropriate for their age and think they are still the young bucks they once were.

    John Deacon from Queen is the exception.
