Denton vs Geldof

Did anybody see the interview that Denton did with Bob Geldof a couple of nights ago? You can read the transcript here. Here's a man that knows his shit.

DENTON: Why is it, for instance, that the world will open its heart to tsunami victims but close its eyes to what's happening in Darfur? Why does that happen?

SIR BOB GELDOF: The tsunami is a particular case because, particularly for Australians, it's next door. But the main thing that happens is that you get a confusion between an act of God or an act of nature, whatever you wish to call it, and an act of man. And half the shock is that as humans, it's our hubris as humans that we believe we can control everything. The reality is we can control nothing, and the tsunami or something like that brings it home to us, and we freak out, we throw money at it in order to control it.

It's true.

Speaking of Live Aid, there are a few DVDs that will be on my Xmas list this year

1. The 25 years of Live Aid one
2. The Buzzcocks
3. The Bruce Springsteen videos
4. Any old 70s/80s compilations
   
5. I love the video from Racey's Lay Your Love on Me. Sad I know, but they should make more songs like this! It's impossible to find, so if anyone could tell me where to get it, I'll do anything, and I mean ANYTHING!
