The urban myth of Sir Bob Geldof's legendary Live Aid outburst
by David Hepworth, Daily Mirror
ON July 13, 1985 I was at Wembley Stadium working for the BBC as one of the presenters of its coverage of Live Aid. [...]
[Bob Geldof] climbed into our little studio and demanded to make an appeal. In a break between acts I sat next to him and talked him through it.
He made his case as to why people should put hands in their pockets to help the starving.
“Fine,” I said and then, because I knew what order the captions would come up in, I added to camera: “Here’s the address...”
“F*** the address,” interjected Geldof. “Go to the phone number!” [...]
In the years that followed I’ve been engaged in that same conversation all over the world. The people who are convinced that Geldof said “Give us your f***ing money” range from those who claim to have watched every second of the broadcast to people not even born at the time. [...]
