Bob Geldof

Sex Age & Death
$11.98
I desperately want Bob Geldof to be happy. With Live Aid and Live 8 and everything else he's done to ease suffering in the world, I'd hope some solace might come his way.

And while it can be dangerous to read any artist's work as autobiographical, Sex Age & Death is at once a disturbing self-portrait and a vitriolic rant centering around the whole Paula Yates/Michael Hutchence affair. "One For Me" and "Inside Your Head" are primal screams directed at Yates and Hutchence while "$6,000,000 Loser", "Pale White Girls", and "My Birthday Suit" show a very exposed Geldof dealing, perhaps not so well, with the aftermath.

This album lacks the joy and spontaneity that permeates both The Vegetarians of Love and The Happy Club, which is only natural because of the subject matter -- which deserves the parental warning label more because of the disturbing content than Geldof's penchant for saying "f@ck."

The best way I can think of to describe the album is this: "10:15" is like The Happy Club's "The House at the Top of The World" after the singer has gone through the ringer and come out the other side. Instead of an innocent, almost juvenile, anticipation fueled by youth and lust, "10:15" is sex mixed with depression that gives way to a tenderness and faith in other people.

Maybe Bob will end up with a little happiness after all.

Vegetarians Of Love
$9.49
Celtic-Rock, Cajun-Pop, Irish-Folk are all apt descriptions of this wonderful album. The music is upbeat, the lyrics are sometimes dark but always witty.

Geldof in Africa
$16.95
I am a Geldof fan, however, I didn't let this prejudice my review of this amazing book. From the beginning I felt like I could not put the book down! It has amazing pictures and the many stories of tribesmen was uniquely written.

I think if you know anything about Africa and its people - or do not know a thing - you will find this book amusing, sad, and unique in its story of a continent that has abundant physical beauty and, sadly, also has tragedy as part of its history. Very interesting view of modern Africa and some of its people, told by a incredibly interesting individual who has does more for powerty in the past 20 years than some countries have done to date.

Well worth reading!
