Could listen to this guy for hours, he has been there, got the T shirt and yet remains so humble. Great performer, hugely underestimated talent IMHO and agree with other comments here as to why he hasn't been knighted. Maybe one day.... truly hope so !
As someone who tried to alleviate some of that misery, he earned it. Geldof went to him, without him there would've been no song, no band aid/live aid, he definitely deserves that honor! So, the answer to your question, Marge719, is yes, it is!
This really was inspirational, he's as great a speaker as he is a singer. I am wondering why HE'S not a Knight. He's just as instrumental in Band Aid and the whole humanitarian thing. I still don't think he's received the recognition he's due for all he's done. I came across an article online about Band Aid 30, had a picture of him and Bob Geldof and he wasn't mentioned in the article once (although in this particular article I'm glad he wasn't) and further down in the comments someone asks "Who is that sitting next to Bob Geldof?" WTF??????????????
I enjoyed Midge's book. lots of interesting stories. it says in the book that at the time of band aid( the talentless) Bob Geldof was skint. He was living off of Paula Yate's wages, the Boomtown Rats were finished (not that they were any good anyway). And he was bumming around looking for an opening. Yet now Bob Geldof is a multi millionaire. You do the maths................

Could listen to this "over and over again".

Excellent lecture by an honest, hard working philantropist, well done Midge Ure!

What a brilliant speaker and man
