As a follow up to the post below....
1978.... I cannot express the terror that is...... feeling like this song only came out yesterday when I was 12.
Never liked Geldof, he is effectively a proto gypsy and an Irish one to boot. Plus he looks like he smells a bit and is probably a GINGA if anybody ever got this soap dodger close to a bottle of alberto balsam.

Of course, Geldof was always a sanctimonious tosser, but the Boomtown Rats producd some great music.
I don't like Mondays will always remain a classic.
And I was 11 then.
And Ireland was also a poor country.
Too poor for soap and one pound fifty at the barbers? I don't think so.
When these strummers and warblers have been in the business for a number of years they start to believe in their own publicity, believe they are above the common herd and therefore in a position to dictate how the world should be, which usually consists in requiring the handing over of our money for their latest fashionable cause.
Notice they never seem to spend their own millions, except on themselves. They would get far more traction I'm sure if they gave away their millions to these 'worthy causes' and reverted to the nonenities they once were. They should try it and see.
I think its £7-50 for the barbers.
I'm sure that's what I paid last year.
It was a pound and a half in 1978.
