Bob Geldof

 


I was doing a radio interview in Atlanta with Johnnie Fingers and there was a telex machine beside me. 

I read it as it came out.

 Not liking Mondays as a reason for doing somebody in is a bit strange.

 I was thinking about it on the way back to the hotel and I just said 'silicon chip inside her head had switched to overload'. I wrote that down. 

And the journalists interviewing her said, 'Tell me why?' 

It was such a senseless act. 

It was the perfect senseless act and this was the perfect senseless reason for doing it. 

So perhaps I wrote the perfect senseless song to illustrate it.

 It wasn't an attempt to exploit tragedy.
