Sir Bob Geldof Interview on Q
Sir Bob Geldof was the guest recently on the CBC Radio interview show, Q.

He talked with host Jian Gomeshi about African aid, LiveAid, Live8, his new album, the sudden death of his sister and a brief story about his father and a broken-back Bono hobbling to the pub together.
If you, like me, had never really paid much attention to Sir Bob Geldof other than as Bono’s “African charity buddy” I’d strongly encourage you to watch/listen to the hour long interview.
Something to watch over the Christmas break while you wait for U2 to get back out on the road after opening their presents.
