Today's rock and roll crowd would have needed to stay near the fainting couch in the seventies. Fucking wankers.

Haha.
Or it might have something to do with the fact that today's rock'n'roll crowd now have grandchildren.

Yes, I didn't consider that. His audience isn't the contemporary rock fan but the people who unlike him have mostly had to give up the rock and roll lifestyle for kids and houses in the suburbs and regular jobs.

How did folk communciate back in them days ?

By Turning On, Tuning In and then Dropping Out.
As opposed to Turning On, Signing-In and then Logging Off.

You're in trouble when that prat gives you fashion advice!

'specially when he's not wearing socks with dress shoes.

Must be the Belgium and Yiddish blood in him?

As Passing Through said,Perhaps his anger stems from the fact that he's reduced to playing in front of a crowd of fat, lower-middle-class, middle-aged suburban idiots

Sir Bob (i don't like washdays) Geldof is a wanker and is lucky to be put on that bill,
perhaps he should head back off to Ethiopia and teach water conservation by getting the locals to follow his lead in having dust baths.

Sparking up a little needed attention for himself, which has been vacant for some years now....

All about promotion, thereof.

Sir Bob.

so bob was on stage at a commercial festival manned by volunteers ....
rock and roll ?
was he was the only fucker getting paid

If the prat could hold a vocal note then he may be respected.

Cannot sing, doesn't wash, nor puts forward anything worthwhile to listen to.

Fuck him and the caravan trailer he drove in on.

The other twat Bono can drown with Geldorf in their collective toe jam.

Poor widower Bob, lost his Wife and daughter , he must still be hurting.

Part of the triangle Michael Hutchence is not hurting............He's dead.

You sound like you used to be a fun person to be around in your younger days.

From cool young dude selling acid at festivals to a miserable, cynical, bitter old fucker on a Thai based forum, what the fuck happened to you dude?

More proof that Cork should become a republic.

How does Jan feel about being head honcho over a department that offers sweatshop clothing from Bangla where fires are more than frequent ?

Asians fucking over Asians I have no problem with but NOT in MY country.

The Edge new Early on that Bono was a shifter.

But " Knob Pull Me Off " sang one fookin song about not liking Mondays.

Big fookin Deal Knob,

No coont likes Mondays except the boss when all the wage slaves go back to work.

Coont has a hair do like a Bangkok TUk Tuk driver and Donald Trump Combined.

Fook him EH.

I think it pertinent to inform you that the Brentwood Festival is a non-profit event in which all receipts are for registered charities and the performers are all unpaid.

Just so you know, like.

Seems to me you didn't sell too many and popped them yourself.

But then, I wouldn't have been so crass or idiotic to have parted with any dosh to see the likes of the Boomtown Rats when I had Pink Floyd (the proper one), Steppenwolf, Hawkwind, Quintessence etc., to choose from.

actually, when the festival were asked by journalists if he was paid a fee for his appearance, they refused to confirm either way.

perhaps, as a well known proponent of charitable giving, he had waived the Boomtown Rat’s performance fee in an act of altruism. Alas, a call to the Brentwood Festival failed to establish whether this had happened. When I asked if the band had been paid, I was told that it was “nobody’s business”.

Bob Geldof is the head of a new breed of so-called liberals: the Sneerers

just so you know , like.

Err, the festival only donates a share of its proceeds to charity thegent.

Before he he turned his attentions to the crowd saying: “On the other hand Brentwood, you are wearing wall to wall fucking Primark. This is a rock and roll festival. When you come to a rock and roll festival, dress for a rock and roll festival.”

And how much are you charging for tickets, Bob?

And the food?
