Geldof Says Rock Can Save Music
. Speaking at the South by South West festival in Austin, Texas, the former Boomtown Rat calls on musicians to remember: "Rock'n'roll needs to be against something. It can't just be." Geldof feels modern technology is nothing more than a distraction from the real issues. "This hyper democracy of the web simply gives the illusion of talent," he says. "Everybody has got the means to say anything they want � but nobody has anything to say. Can you imagine the 1960s without the bands interpreting the fast-moving agenda of the times? Where are our Ramones and Sex Pistols of today? Do we need them? 'Yes' is the answer. Will they be found? Probably not.
