All of that is poverty. Our problem is that everybody tries to heal each of the individual aspects of poverty, not poverty itself. They said use Optrex, so I left immediately, and I went into Superdrug, and they said the same. And we went back afterward, somewhat ruefully, because we thought it was over, and something happened.

Certainly, but what would have been the consequences had he done nothing? Good old Bob. Considering the state that Ethiopia still finds itself in today its hard to judge how much of an impact Live Aid actually made, especially considering the news stories that have been emerging in the last week….
Certainly on an emergency level it did provide some relief, but the long term issues that exist within Ethiopia still have to be addressed…. Oh yes- and the reason all this is coming to light now is the forthcoming Ethiopian elections at the end of this month. Lots of muck cslinging going on…. The world owes him a living. He's always been looking after number one and coincidentally sometimes others have benefitted. But please don't cite him in the same post as that odious hypocrite Bono, Bob's alright.
I've never really give Geldof much thought but loads of people are adept at making a living for not having a personal talent apart from bearing their breasts or making a reality show about themselves.
I watched a documentary well part of it was too painful on one of Geldofs daughters and I amazed that someone commission the program and they actually went through and managed to get it shown on TV. Imagine a STW having a camera crew following him around with him saying erm, yeah, erm hum for an hour.
Yep, no denying he's profitted personally, I'm just not sure why that's a problem as long as others have also profitted. He's not a saint after all. I was pretty annoyed at his highjacking of the Make Poverty History campaign in , mind. Fast foward to just past 21 minutes 20 seconds. Bob Geldof made his money in television — his production company was behind the Big Breakfast and loads of other very successful shows.
He has a forceful "make it happen" kind of personality which no doubt stood him in good stead in business as well as raising money for Africa.
