In the same way that Funny Friday is about the joy of the joke?

Skid X

Well, I am enjoying it

FixdePitchmark

Music is class , if bob would shut up.

Bob could never sing.

Mary Byrne can. It doesn't mean we need to hear it as a nation.

FixdePitchmark

Band are unreal.

JustTheOne

Jesus these look like they came straight from a morgue.

Time to knock it on the head lads.

Out of interest how easy is it to get a comedy show on RTE? What with Porter here, Fred Cooke getting a show about driving a car and many others I could name it can't be that difficult? Just reel off the same tactless quips and don't show any thought or ingenuity and it might be a goer

Ally Dick

This man is gutsy. He's had more grief in his life than would buckle a mere mortal. I wish him all the best

murpho999

I wonder if Ryan will ask him about his Irish roots.

"Dedicated his life to Gibsons and Suzuki 1000s"
I preferred the Suzuki 1000 twelve string acoustic myself.

Vorenus400

"A stage is a stage" wrong answer there by Geldof. Its like he hasnt practiced for the show. Irish stages are the most special and Ireland is the best, I thinnk it kinda threw tubs for a minute, he didnt expect it

Riverireland

Why is he chewing gum?

Good God, the Boomtown Rats suck

FixdePitchmark

I have to say - I do like the bloke ,

Tuning in now. Bob Geldof is on, does that mean Domhnall Gleeson is on later? Well the last two times Bob was on, Domhnall was there as well and he played Bob Geldof in that film about Live Aid

Well he hasn't really, his daughter was tough but Paula Yates was an ex-wife.
Plenty of people have had just as much grief in their lives.

The Boomtown Rats were just before my time, Bob was on his Ethiopa run when i was a toddler. But seriously, they had some amazing songs and they were class at the Picnic. That version wasn't great there, but seriously, they are a class live band.

maybe just the roots in his hair:D

I am pretty sure Dustin was harassing that poor girl in the audience.

No they don't, go listen to their stuff. Start with Rat Trap and I Don't Like Mondays.

FixdePitchmark

It is interesting - the escape aspect.

He lost his mother when he was 12 I think.

His mother.
His ex wife - who he was devastated when she left him.
His daughter.

That's a bloody lot of grief for one man.

''She's a much better interviewer''

:pac: :pac:

FixdePitchmark

I love how honest and straight he is.

He is some speaker - was listening to Bono too recently , both amazing engaging people, the kind of stuff people love irish for.

Thanks. I know about 80% of their stuff, my brother was a fan. I don't like them but more luck to you

Fair enough, had forgotten about his mother, that's tough alright.

He seems very philosophical about it though.

HIs sister and his father passed away relatively recently too

Kerrydude1981

Just put on the LLS

Id swear Bob wore the same jacket the last time he was on

Same interview??

Welsh Megaman

Thread quiz (don't google)...

Which Boomtown Rats song was the first ever record played on 2fm?

PressRun

I would imagine losing one's child in similar circumstances to their mother is eerie and quite painful.

zcorpian88

The quietness of the crowd, it's these moments on the Late Late, you know it's a good interview.

I think the best interviews sometimes is when the guest is just let talk. Bob seems a real humble guy.

I believe I asked the same question here a few years ago

Incredibly tragic the two of them. Heroin addiction. Scary.

Well just because you don't like a type of music/band, it does not mean they are rubbish.

For example Adele sold out today in 3 mins. I can't stand her music but appreciate she's very talented.

That's incredibly harsh. Paula Yates was the mother of his kids. One of those kids is now dead. That's an unbelievable chunk of your life. Just because he's famous, you shouldn't be dismissing his grief.

PeterTheEighth

Some contradictions I've noticed about myself this evening:
- I think Bob is a good guy and I feel sorry what he's had to endure.
- I find it hard to listen to Bob.
- I also find it hard to listen to Bob's band.
