The Boomtown Rats: the fine art of Surfacing

The Boomtown Rats: the fine art of Surfacing...with the song I Don't Like Mondays.  Today is a Monday and it is not that bad.  I recall when the song came out and read something somewhere that the song was about a tragic school shooting, maybe in Australia.  Band leader Bob Geldoff of course went on to lead in the creation of the first LiveAid multi-continent live concerts in the mid-eighties.  In the UK - at Wembley Stadium, and in the US - at Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia.  Phil Collins played both concerts the same taking to Concorde over.  It was the almost-reunion of Led Zeppelin, whereby Tony Thompson (Chic's awesome drummer) sat in the hallowed spot for that 3 or 4 song set.
