We had about Bob Geldof in class today. I was bored so i decided to google him.
For those of you who don't know who Bob Geldof is:
He was an irish singer, songwriter, actor and activist. Known as a member of the rock band the Boomtown Rats. One night when he was watching tv, he saw a documentary on starving children in Ethipopia. He couldn't get his mind off it and wanted to do something about it. He called his friends and associates in the music buisiness and recorded a christmas song called "Do they know its Christmas?", which was recorded by various artists under the name Band Aid. They made millions. After that he organized a consert called Live Aid which was broadcast live around the world. Live Aid raised over 150 million pounds.
