| BONO AND BOB GELDOF UP FOR NOBEL PEACE PRIZE |
 |
Bono and Bob Geldof were nominated for the
2006 Nobel Peace Prize, and they're part of a
shortlist for the award which is given out in
December in Oslo, Norway. Bono was up for the
award last year, and his efforts combating
world poverty have him in the running once
again. Geldof is up for his Live 8 concert,
which significantly reduced Africa's debt
owed to the G8 nations.
1985's Live Aid raised more than 200 million
dollars over the last twenty years, Live 8
will have the effect of 25 billion per year
through the governments of the most powerful
nations.

| BOB GELDOF and THE BOOMTOWN RATS-I dont like Mondays |
 |
Geldof was born Robert Frederick Zenon Geldof
in Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, in the
Republic of Ireland, to parents of Catholic
extraction. He attended Blackrock College,
near Dublin, a school whose staunch Catholic
nationalist ethos he disliked. After work as
a slaughterman, road navvy and pea canner, he
started as a music journalist in Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada, for the weekly
publication Georgia Straight. Upon returning
to Ireland in 1975, he became the lead singer
of the band The Boomtown Rats, a rock group
closely linked with the punk movement.In
1978, The Boomtown Rats had their first No. 1
single in the UK with "Rat Trap", which was
the first New Wave chart-topper in that
country. In 1979, the group shot to
international fame with their second UK No.
1, "I Don't Like Mondays".[2] This was
equally successful, as well as controversial;
Geldof wrote it in the aftermath of Brenda
Ann Spencer's attempted massacre at an
elementary school across the street from her
house in San Diego, California, at the
beginning of 1979.
