Geldof in coventry today
Permalink  
 


Weve just got back from a really interesting business lecture at the Rioch Arena coventry Bob was the guest speaker around 3000 owners and directors of small to medium sized companies listend to Bob talk about his childhood the loss of his Mother at the age of 8 how he hated his school years


in went into some detail about the business side of runing a band how the boomtown rats became so successful quite quickly and how hard it was after 10 great years together to face up to the fact that things had moved on and there time was over


the main point of the lecture was don t be frightened of failure .in his words try something if it fails **** it dont worry just move on your only on this planet for a short while

Never let it be said Geldof feared failure, after all he recorded Deep in the Heart of Nowhere   (I'm sorry I couldn't resist!)

Did he talk off the cuff? When I saw him in Glasgow, he had no script and paced up and down the stage like a caged animal. He paused for thought a few times, but otherwise rattled on. very amusing and entertaining speaker.


Pezi, there is not a link to this at the moment, but there is to the Segovia talk on another thread.

I can't imagine that he'd need to write it in advance, he knows so much and he can prattle on for hours . And I would still be there listening to him hours later .

He's been in business for years, so that wouldn't be too difficult either. He's never lost for words and he can speak from the heart and mind on just about anything he knows anything.

This isn't criticism of him, if that's what you're thinking - quite the opposite!
