Wake-Up Video: The Boomtown Rats’ ‘I Don’t Like Mondays’

13 July 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »

Back in 1985, July 13 became known as “The Day That Music Changed the World” — or at least that’s what Live Aid was called in its marketing materials. Big, sweeping charity festivals are common now, but in ‘85 Live Aid was really a revolutionary concept: One day, two main sites, several dozen bands and a single cause. The concerts in London and Philadelphia — featuring memorable sets by Queen, U2, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Sting and Run-d.M.C. — brought in nearly $50 million for famine relief in Africa, and the performances were watched by 400 million people in 60 different countries around the world.

The ringleader in all this? An Irish gentleman named Bob Geldof, who is known best for his charity work (he also organized Band Aid and Live 8, among others). But he got his start in the music business as the frontman of the Boomtown Rats, an underrated band who scored a hit in 1979 with “I Don’t Like Mondays. »

Peaches Geldof was "stroked" by Michael Jackson. Peaches - the daughter of Live 8 founder Bob Geldof - once sat on the "Thriller" singer's lap when she was eight and on holiday in the U.S.

Speaking on British TV quiz show "Celebrity Juice," the 19-year-old blonde said: "I was eight years old. I was at Disneyland with my family."

"Michael Jackson was there doing some sort of promotional thing. He invited a load of kids who were staying in the Disney hotel to come meet him."

"He was sitting on a huge throne at the end of the hall, flanked by Mickey and Goofy. The image is burned in my mind of him there."
