I don't think that Geldof ever pretended that he could sing...but then you could hardly say that so-called revolutionaries like Joe Strummer or John Lydon could sing, but I never saw them attempting to pull off something like Live Aid...although I admit that Strummer did indeed sing songs about deprivation, which did a lot of good 😉
@@Helio144 Strummer and Lydon where not as naïve as Geldof to think Live Aid was about saving the lives of people. Live Aid was all about politics and power and if you think it was something else, then you are the one whom is naïve!!
They never used imagery of punk at all. It was a movement at the time, Boomtown Rats were new wave. Geldof couldn’t really sing....well, he did say Simon the drummer was a better singer. Bobs voice more quirky on the fast early stuff.
Great to see , only the 2nd interview I’ve seen of theirs of that year. Thanks for showing this. Bob 25 here, September 77.

The posh boys of Dublin, what?
They used the imagery of punk and Geldof couldn't really sing. But their music was more pub rock than punk.
