Maybe I could send the "Why Does Geldof HATE His Fans?" thread.

I submitted 5 questions (greedy) a mix of music and other and I also asked about next album. Maybe if there are enough of those...

ArrGee you could send that thread, but the response probably wouldn't be printable

I just received an email asking me where I am from. Maybe it is a little over optimistic, but hopefully they are interested in at least one of my questions.

Can somebody tell me when this will be published in the Independent? Jules' post says next Wednesday, but when I followed the link yesterday, I read it would be next Monday and now I can't find the article anymore...

You may well be right, but they've removed the link (already) from that page.

I have emailed to find out and will let you know if and when I get an answer.

This is it:

http://news.independent.co.uk/people/profiles/article1168693.ece

He answered my question about Bono. I had also asked the one about charity shops, but obviously they weren't going put me down twice. He also answers Scottie's question about another album. Disappointing answer - no rush indeed! Did you see the response to ArrGee's question?

Funny thing is that wasn't my question!  MMbullybuddyGP came up with that.  I just sent the whole ask Bob thread.


http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=48603&p=3&topicID=3556104&subForumID=116247&topicPage=


These were mine......


Do you still consider yourself a musician?  You were recently quoted saying
"The music ones (awards) are the ones that count for me because that's what
I think I do."  But you have only made one album in the last 14 years.

>> Do you remember when you signed to Ensign Records back in 1976?  Why did
>> you choose them rather than Virgin who offered you a miliion pound
>> advance?
>
>> Why were so many concerts cancelled at the end of 2005?
>
>> Are the rest of the Boomtown Rats after royalties they believe are due?
>> You were the main songwriter, so do they have any rights to them?
>
>> It was great to hear the demo tracks which were extras on the first
>> album.
>> Were there any other tracks from the 1975 demos?   Where and when were
>> they
>> recorded?  Were any other demos made and do any of them exist?
>
>> Why have you disassociated yourself with the Geldof internet forum?  Your
>> tour manager Willo seems to have a strong dislike of the forum, do you
>> share that?
>

He knew you were a bloke .

There would have been a number of repeats then. It's a pity your last question wasn't put to him. Maybe he refused to answer it.

It is worth buying the actual paper. A four page spread, lots of pics, including a FULL page head and shoulders shot. Shame,no album this year, but I guess he is the kind of guy who has to write from experience and if he is not ready...  He obviously does not think that Independent readers know about his albums. He is probably right.

I haven't had any luck in tracking the paper down yet, hope that Tesco's still have some copies later . I don't think anyone reads it round here...

The questions are being reported on far and wide:

Yes, they did, it is on there. Have a look, he said the most beautiful and the most horrific were the same thing - human dignity. I thought it was you. Good question!
