"Please remember, absolutely no ranting and raving about Bush or Blair and the Iraq war, this is not why you have been invited to appear," Geldoff said to the manager of a top recording artist, who asked not to be identified. "We want to bring Mr. Bush in, not run him away."
[Geldof tells next week's TIME magazine how Bush "has actually done more than any American President for Africa."]
"Bob wants no attention on global warming, or the war," the manager warns, "He is very determined, he does not want to lose control of the message... But we have the most unpopular American president since Nixon, soldiers are dying... you are going to see some righteous anger on stage."
If this is true, while i find the whole concert and the anti-capitalistic attitude of it silly i have to respect Bob Geldoff.
He cares about his issue and he isn't going to let a bunch of whiny celebrities ruin it
good for him
