Another new one. Geldof on Robert Klein radio show in 1981 promoting Mondo Bongo album. This is a little after Banana Republic was a hit ,but great to hear how Geldof was thinking while the band was still more or less at the height of their glory. Seems pretty peed off with Ireland after the Leopardstown/Leixlip gigs fiasco. Geldof interview starts at 8 minutes in.
Wow...he was very bitter over the press!!! interesting that he cites Ethiopia and starvation as important - long before Band Aid!!
