My pleasure. 

~~”The cd you are listing, "Sex Age And Death" has alot to do with his feelings about his ex-wife and her time with INXS singer Michael Hutchens.”~~

 

yep, that’s the story. 

 

I read his book, “Is That It?” too many years ago to count, and listened to, “Deep in the Heart of Nowhere,” while reading the book & stretching/gessoing  4'X4', 4'X5' & 4'X8' canvas in the old Ma Bell building off 138 east of the Grapevine, CA, converted into an art studio by a lady who turned me on to the better aspects of Lou Reed and Sunny Rollins & the build-up effects of oil paint on the human physiology ~~ but, shush, don’t tell her I said that.  I was just suggesting to a friend recently that Bob Geldof is a luminous poignant lyricist/melodysmith who has been overlooked...for his audacity I suppose, & who’s ditties  I was glad to raise my sons on.  They dug his songs as kids and I new their subconscious minds were being fed food for future thought & personal angst.  So we pay him his just due around here.  He gets a good ribbing by the European & American (& world) communities, no doubt, but IMHO his life is his, while his music is ours.  Glad to have the music.  Glad to know you are a fan too. 

 

My favorite songs are: 

 

Inside Your Head

Pale White Girls

Mudslide

 

The Great Song of Indifference

August Was A Heavy Month

Pulled Apart by Horses

Truly, True Blue (*)

I Cry Too

 

No Small Wonder

The End of the World

Thinking Voyager 2 Type Things


A Sex Thing
The House At The Top Of The World

The Roads Of Germany (After B.D)

 

…aw, really I like em all ~~ every one.
