I wonder why he is using a left hand guitar upside down;P the brown patch u see above the hole on the guitar, is a plastic piece to protect the wood from the pick..
Not being a guitarist myself, I hadn't noticed, but I am reading his auto-biography. Apparently, he borrowed a left handed school mate's guitar to learn on; he wasn't allowed to re-string it, so he turned it up-side down and just continued playing like that.

I dont care about global warming ,whingeing bludging greenies .animal lovers ,feminists ,stinking vegetarians ,anti hunters ,whale lovers ,pro abortionists ,sustainability U.N pricks ,i dont care at all,, cos your all scum and hypocrites
Great song, fun video. I must admit, there are days and even weeks when I could identify closely with the lyrics, after which I may look very much like Geldof at the end of the video! (Not really :P) Therein lies the intended lesson of the song, I believe.
i had the lucky chance to meet SIR BOB GELDOF during Band Aid action in ITALY back in 87 and 88 and I really admired how he could say to any important person of the world
"JUST DO WHAT YOU CAN, YOU F....POWERFUL MAN....""
o yes,if i forgat to mention it,its brilliant in its own way,if ya look carefully,you can c the members of the dubliners in the back paling the downtown villagers,so it looks like old'Bob did care to get the message across,,,,in an old kinda lets have a beer about it way,nive going bub!!
In that time old'Bob was so sick of people calling him to do charity things he made this song,i dont care if the 3th world fries,he sings. But honestly,if you listen good,its a catching tune,ya might just get a taste of lager just by listening to it,and these days its become my lifesong and moto,i just dont mind at all,its brilliant in its own way,so....cheers mates,i just dont care ore mind at all!!! lol,greetings from nederland, Johan.

maybe the song is good but i don't like it that it is just about don't caring. i think people should care a lot more about their neighbours and fellow men.....
This song is a sarcastic look at how SIR Bob Geldoff viewed most of humanity when he was organising live Aid, world Aid, it was the easiest way he could say YOU STUPID SELF ABSORBED MONKEYS WAKE THE F>>K UP AND START LENDING A HELPING HAND but then sarcasam escapes most Americans doesn't it.
I remember seeing this video when it came out years a go - I've always found it hilarious ..love the way he ends up looking like a pissed up Kerry man by the end (with awful drunken vocals to match!) Pure genius!!
This is greatly great! From a guy who always fought for the human rights and humanitary concerts... it's the perfect art of irony that makes the greatest artists.
I love this guy. I don't mind if is clen or not. I don't mind at all :)) Great job, sir Geldof

Well spotted dbfi01 you are 100% correct ....all I
spotted was BOB was getting more un-tidy during
the video ...........but i'm sure you agree this was the start of RIVERDANCE but as I said before BOB didn't know at the time

Irish dancing has always been around but in 1994 RIVERDANCE was first performed on
eurovision song contest during the break and
thats when it took off big time (world wide) ....this
song was recorded in 1990 before RIVERDANCE
so you could say BOB started it unknowlngly
