Bob geldof her father also was the catalyst for live aid the two concerts performed on the same day in Philadelphia and London to raise money for Africa. The line up is the greatest lineup ever assembled.

Some musicians were so aware of the great historical significance of this day that they performed in philly and then jumped on a plane to perform at the other venue in London the same day!!! Phil Collins from genesis was one I remember seeing at both. It was really a beautiful thing

Who is this person?

Kerm, you seriously don't know who Bob Geldof is?

[ADR51]

WOW, all i can say is wow and i wish i could have been there!

[Dutch]

Bob Geldof is a self important turd.

[James D]

ADR51,

it it was an amazing day to be a music fan. Queen ended up stealing the show

Bob Geldof is a self important turd.

I can see why you feel it's appropriate to make a statement like this on the day of his 25 year old daughters death.

[Kermit]

Kerm, you seriously don't know who Bob Geldof is?

No, I never heard of him.

[Spanks]

No, I never heard of him.

neither have I...

[Jimmy Proffett]

He was also on the movie "The Wall", played the character Pink.

Jimmy that was him?!

[cecil127]

holy penetrate INXS played w/the boomtown rats in London that day....how ironic. too bad the "kids" in this thread wont understand that significance either.

he really don't like Mondays now does he?....man that was low but he IS a turd. Dutch was spot on....

[Kermit]

I grew up in the 80's(born in 74) and I never heard of this guy. What did he did he do that was so significant? I know who the Aussie band INXS was, I have a few of their CD's.

Bob her dad was in the not very big band the boomtown rats. He more importantly was the organizer of USA for Africa in the 1980's and the really great song "feed the world .

I Don't Like Monday's.

Story about school boy that brought gun to school and killed classmates, and asked why said it was because "I don't like Mondays."

I assume this was a big song in the UK? I never heard it cecil until posted the video up there.

[LT Profits]

[James D]

I didn't catch that inxs boomtown rats were both there, pretty ironic for sure. I saw on geldof wiki page pink Floyd the wall, but have to admit I have never seen the wall. Heard of it of course, maybe i should check it out. Even if the guy is a douche today you got to feel for him and his grandchildren that lost their mom.

[LT Profits]

It was a hit here in USA too. I guess it was before your time.

[PAULYPOKER]

[cecil127]

i saw the wall when I was 11 or 12...wasn't until I was 16 that I figured out sir bob geldof WASNT in Pink Floyd...lol

[Kermit]

It was a hit here in USA too. I guess it was before your time.

I would have been about 5 at the time seeing as how it released in 1979. It couldn't have been too big of a hit in the United States that it doesn't even get any play on any of the stations now. The Rock station that I listen to plays everything clear back into the 60's up until present time and I never heard of that song.

[PAULYPOKER]

[cecil127]

reading the lyrics????????

[Kermit]

Ok, it was a #1 song in the U.K. but only reached #73 in the U.S. and got limited airplay most likely due to it's sensitive nature. This may explain why I never heard it. If it didn't get much replay on through the 80's, I definitely wouldn't have heard it.

[onemoregoal]

Sad news.
Lots of deaths in that family, all in their prime. Her mom (died 14 yrs ago) had a child with INXS Micheal Hutchence who also died
