Not that Geldof is a politician, or anything
There's still some hanging belief that Bob Geldof is some sort of outspoken outsider, turning up at international events and making politicians feel uncomfortable.
Let's try and remember that he's one of them:
Geldof told a German newspaper he wants a rock band [at this summer's G8 meeting of world leaders in Germany] made up of "Clinton on saxophone, Blair on guitar, and Pfaffenbach on bass".
Insiders believe Mr Blair could be persuaded to show off his guitar skills as the June summit could be his last major event as PM. Clinton, who needs far less encouragement to get out his sax, is already said to be in favour of the gig.

What larks! What top fun! What were they meant to be doing there, again?

That old "sax-guitar-bass" combination again...Sounds like progressive jazz gone mad.
I wonder if Geldof will have to duke it out with Bono for vocal honours (referees: Midge Ure and George Bush).
Midge, as usual, won't find out anything about any of this until two days after it's happened
