The very words 'Bono' or 'Bob Geldof' are hair-triggers for allowing my latent misanthropy to run amok and unfettered. Let the picture do all the talking - Oprah, I love you, going barefoot there was a fucking masterstroke.
I'll certainly echo all that! These attempts and dabblings are almost exclusively ego-driven, which is why they're so consistently patronising, if not condescending, and they lack even the odd positive side-effects. We could sacrifice much time writing volumes on this subject, which is why I merely chose this bitchy little post.
May I offer, to the appeasement of your misanthropic feelings on these matters, my Jan. 7 entry - a fictionalized review of Live-8, as we would have liked to have seen it happen.
