[kj] OT: AC/DC's Brian Johnson slams Bono / Geldof

[folk devil]

Didn't Geldof charge a few hundred grand to talk about world poverty in Australia (Sydney?), a couple of years back?

I think he requested the penthouse suite, too...

Johnson: What an idiot
 
I don’t like or get, sabbs, geldof or bono either and they should spend a bunch of their own money, which they may I don’t know – but in a world of such greed - doing work to help others is not something that one could be critical of.
 
Take a flying fuck johnson

"When I was a working man I didn't want to go to a concert for some bastard to talk down to me that I should be thinking of some kid in Africa. I'm sorry mate, do it yourself, spend some of your own money and get it done. It just makes me angry. I become all tyrannical.

"It makes me mad when people try to use politics or charity for publicity. Do a charity gig fair enough, but not on worldwide television. Make it seemly, but that's how I feel. I feel U2 are a bit like a Saab – you know they're good but you just don't get it."
