When I saw the Boomtown Rats playing at the Apollo Theatre, Oxford back in 1979 I never in my wildest dreams thought Bob Geldorf would end up being knighted and using music as a force for good.
It’s very easy to knock ‘worthy causes’ but if millions (billions?) of people can make enough noise to send a message that extreme poverty can be iradicated and should be iradicated. Then I for one am all for it.
As ‘Sir’ Bob said “It’s not about politics it’s about morality.”
Update 2022:
Good intentions – didn’t make any real difference though – but the music was great.
