andrew	I was in HMV yesterday playing the latest Christmas box set 'Do They Know It's Christmas' was playing. It's patronizing all the celebs singing together asking us to pledge money to them who are ones with millions it's not us, and how many people celebrate Christmas in Africa ? Geldof has no idea of charity in Africa for example Red Cross give a certain percentage to the people and keep the rest how else are they going to live and keep their vans filled up ? The two charity concerts Geldof arranged was nothing but a couple of good festivals and publicity. Too much conflict, too many people hungry, too many people with HIV, too many people with dying and there is fuck all we can do it's up their leaders to do something not us. I want everyone to read Dark Star Safari-Overland from Cairo to Cape Town by Paul Theroux it tell you why charity don't work over there. www.amazon.co.uk/Dark-Star-Safari-Overla...324347069&sr=1-3

The song is not really that great and in the article you are using the charity angle to tug our heart strings which is fine as far as I am concerned as I don't care what song you release as long as you're happy with it screw the world. They either like it or not. But you make such a song and dance and lambast Bob Geldof et al at any opportunity you have and then go out and do the same thing, come on man. That's just hypocrisy BUT that's my view. Be consistent. quote] Couldn't agree more - average song, above average hypocrisy
JK2006	Only as a friend Dodger. And I love the track, Balls - different strokes...
the Artful Dodger	So you are claiming some involvement in this "success", JK. Good for you managing to by-pass the Tabloid feeding frenzy which would have occurred had they realised you were involved.
