I really admire Bob for all hes done and all that hes become, Kerr concludes. But whenever anyone mentions his name I always remember the first time we saw The Rats in Glasgow. I thought they were really fantastic. A lot of the so-called punk bands that we had seen were excitiing but also disappointing....

HI- some years ago a film called Rat was made which I haven't seen. It was some sort of Oirish Blarney set in Dubalin and featured music by Geldof and Briquette. Does anyone know if this was original music, which is unlikely or was it some of their known work? The film got ok reviews but maybe some rainy da...

Maybe "depressing " is the wrong word but I've always seen a melancholy strain in his solo work-of someone who comes across as never being too happy or contented with life. I know perceiving the whole of someones personality through art is a bit unfair and I recognise the persona of a singe...
