Ref my other post in other books

_johanna_ · Drag Me Down

very exciting...hope itÂ´s updated, but hasnÂ´t Bob said in various interviews that he wouldnÂ´t ever update it?
anyway, great chance for all of those who didnÂ´t get it then! :)

Maybe they have offered a lot of ca$h for a new version! I would have thought a brand new book on the last twenty years would be justified. There is probably a more interesting story post-Band Aid.

MMbullybuddyGP · Drag Me Down

How interesting! yeah there's definitely a lot more that could be added from where the book left off.

johanna, yes, he has said in interviews that he'd never write another / updated autobio about himself. forget where I saw it but it's out there somewhere... his reason being that the press pretty much exposed every part of the Paula/Yeates/Geldof fiasco to the public and ther's nothing really new to reveal there. But I'd love to read about his solo album development and experiences, before all that crap happened.

also , his Sex Age and Death CD is pretty much his way already of sharing that whole part of his life. Is text really needed for this when we already have his whole 'putting a shape to the experience' out for us all to hear? And I doubt he'd want to write it all out just b/c it'd be so painful to him.

but I also think he genuinely thinks a lot of his life just isn't that interesting to the public (though we all think otherwise

). to him, his life is his life, nothing more or less. especially regarding his whole political side - you never hear him start talking about africa w/o slipping in a 'this is so boring' or 'nobody wants to hear about this' in the discussion.

regardless - I'd love to read an updated version lol. What I'd mainly want to read about is his post-paula family life - raising his kids, his relationship with Jeanne, live concerts he's performed in, etc. We all think he is interesting despite what he thinks!

I'd like to read all about the break up, the custody battle and so on. And that's just concerning the Rats

I think Geldof's life is one of the most interesting stories of our times. Even if I had not been a big Rats fan, I'd still be fascinated by him, warts and all. I suspect that his life post-Live Aid will be documented. It'd probably better he does it himself, rather than let a hack tell his posthoumous story.

Tango · In the Long Grass

i doubt therd me much about any form of break up or custody battle

he doesnt seem to like talking about it

_johanna_ · Drag Me Down

well I hope he doesn't start talking about the divorce and stuff now! ha...we finally have a celebrity with integrity, please keep it that way, Bob!

(although I wouldn't mind hearing more about the ratsdivorce, but that's a bit different isn't it)

Tango · In the Long Grass

yeah !ooh look its a mosh pit

Mark Boyle · House on Fire

Considering the span of time & the events thereafter, would it not be better rather than an "update" to do a separate book entirely, called, say, "...Apparantly Not!", "More To Come...", "Outside The Long Grass", "Back for the Encore", "Filling The Hole" (after "Hole To Fill"), etc?

An updated version of "Is That It?" seems a bit cheap.

And when is going to happen? It is now later this year...

It could be called 'That Wasn't It'

Tango · In the Long Grass

or something equally dull like 'i've thought of something else to write about now so I hope you don't mind but I'm gonna carry on from where I left off'

camilladk · Tonight

Right, thanks will have to get my pre-order in. I'm loving all these Bob goodies at the moment.

Jules · The biggest Geldof fan in the world, bar none!

Is there a link to this on Amazon? I couldn't find it doing a search on 'Geldof'? Thanks. Must have, must have...

Edited: Too hasty, I did another search on Geldof in books and there it was at the bottom.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0330442929/202-4785346-3697452?%5Fencoding=UTF8

It's worth a look for the review!
