Geldof Rings In Christmas

Bob Geldof bounds through Rosetta Stone the tall, mahogany, double doors in the Harold Pratt House, an old-money mansion on New Yorks Park Avenue, rushing from one microphone to another without missing a syllable. The tall, rubber-limbed Irishman and ex-Boomtown Rats singer -- decked out like a rock-star gangster in a black, pinstriped, three-piece suit -- has been talking all morning and will continue to do so for the rest of the day. He is here to meet with the Council on Foreign Relations as a member of the Commission for Africa, an independent panel launched this year by British Prime Minister Tony Blair to recommend and generate action in the fight against the epidemic poverty, disease and hunger there.Geldof is also in town to promote the latest offensives in his personal, twenty-year crusade to save the starving Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 continent: an all-star re-recording of the 1984 Band Aid hit, "Do They Know Its Christmas?," which he co-wrote with Midge Ure and the long-awaited commercial release of Live Aid, the pioneering charity-rock spectacular that he conceived in the wake of Band Aids success, then cajoled and bullied into reality on July 13th, 1985, at Londons Wembley Stadium and Philadelphias John F. Kennedy Stadium. The concert, originally simulcast on radio and TV around the world, is now jam-packed onto a fast-selling four-DVD set (it debuted at Number Two on Billboards music-video chart), while the Band Aid 20 single is crammed with cross-generational starpower. Singers and players include Sir Paul McCartney, U2s Bono, Justin Hawkins of the Darkness, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Joss Stone and members of Radiohead, Rosetta Stone Spanish V3 Supergrass and Travis."People were buying it all over eBay," Geldof says irritably, referring to the bootleg copies of the 1985 Live Aid broadcast that have circulated in recent years. "We tried stopping it with eBay -- they refused, the fuckers. I got one pirate and put him in jail for three years. Without being corny, people like that are taking food out of peoples mouths. Its as direct as that. When you buy it now, youre putting it back in."Why did it take two decades for Live Aid to become a commercial release?I avoided the lawyers. Twenty years ago, people would say to me, "When is the record coming out? When is the video coming out?" I said, "Its not." Because I talked to George Harrison. He rang me and said, "Dont talk to the lawyers."He battled lawyers and accountants for years to Cheap Rosetta Stone V3 free the money he raised at the Bangladesh concerts.
