"Music is what I must do, business is what I need to do and politics is what I have to do." ― Bob Geldof Topic(s): Politics More From Bob Geldof "Well, a sort of epiphany: I was in a great band. And it’s very cool to be at 53 and realise that when you were a kid you were in a great band." "It’s really very simple, Governor. When people are hungry they die. So spare me your politics and tell me what you need and how you’re going to get it to these people." "You can’t trust politicians. It doesn’t matter who makes a political speech. It’s all lies – and it applies to any rock star who wants to make a political speech as well."

It’s always been the same, but it’s far tougher now, because record companies are run by financial people; before, they were run by creative people."― Enrique Iglesias "Politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds."― Henry Adams "Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half."― Gore Vidal
