Well anyone who can get this Chancellor to forego the tax on a project is doing pretty good for me.

I do,I admit find Bob Geldof annoying at times but I think from all I have heard from the time,as I wasn't born then, that the first 'Band Aid' record and concert was an amazing project that not only raised massive funds but was greatly entertaining for the masses too.

This project now I also agree with him on, no one really knows for sure where ebola will get to or how bad it could get.
Music is a major way to reach masses of people and despite all that has so far been done,it is still a possible threat worldwide.
So all the help and projects that can be done to raise more funding can only be a welcome and good thing.

I won't really go into his Daughter,as a Parent, he will be tormented likely at what happened to her,going through all sorts of emotions.

He can come across as arrogant and demanding but he clearly believes in some causes so sets out to do what he can.
He does seem to have the knack of being able to bring musicians into his projects such as this with ease.
So well done to him and I am glad it is being so strongly supported too.

It is easy to criticise those who organise and plan projects to help with causes or emergencies that arise at any time but as someone said, buy the recording and support it or choose to avoid the whole process,that is everyones right to do.

I doubt I could ever organise and set up something like this that will bring in loads of voluntary funding for anything and although I don't greatly care for Bob Geldof,I will always give him credit for his efforts on this and other things he has done in the past too.
