And do you know who the original idea for Live 8 came from? You guessed, The Clash. At a festival in America they suggested that bands put some of the money they earn towards charitable causes. All these big cunt bands would have no part in it. Then that corrupt sell out Bob Geldof was smart enough to realise that for giving up a small amount of earnings, that bands could enjoy huge publicity, and be viewed as people who cared for the world, by the mainstream unknowing public. True story.
He is far from the worst mr Galdoff he has done some good things but i share similar sentiments about these things. Bono... in my opinion that guy is the anti christ. talk about selling out big time
Hahaha, yeah, Geldof aint so bad. It's just from a scene in Punk in London, where they are interviewing a guy from the Lurkers, and the Boomtown Rats come on the television. And this guy yells at the TV 'Sold Out'....'Corrupt' 'Load of Rubbish'. Quite classic.
funny little dvd that one. the clash are clearly on something througout the interview they do. Hey what do you think of sean flynn by the clash? i reckon it is up there with their best songs.
An interesting thesis Tim. I see the largest criticism here of POWER, so in looking at that how you could take a communist, socialist or any other left power hungry viewpoint is beyond me. ( just regarding our convo at h block) Definitely an anarchist slanted view here!!! And i think you have recognised that real positve change cannot come from the top, but from the bottom.. I'm sure you know this already.. and the last point is very existentialist,,..
On a lighter note i'm doing my rounds a brighton secondary, so im going to come over to your place after and get drunk with you and your lovely sister and mangos. Done
Selfy in criticising the use of power you can only take a socialist/communist viewpoint. Anarchy would not decentralise the economy or the power centres within it they would strengthen them. Anarchy would allow the aristocracy to remove any need to keep face and you would be faced with a catastrophy of greed and power. Anyway come over and get drunk. You should chat to my brother he left a comment on here. You might have some similar ideas.
