Live Aid organizer and activist Bob Geldof isn’t convinced the world will change for the better following the COVID-19 pandemic.Certainly, it’s already interfered with The Boomtown Rats’ first album in 36 years, Citizens of Boomtown, which came out March 13 – Friday the 13th – just as the world ground to a halt due to the virus.“The Achilles heel of humanity is its hubris,” said Geldof, the frontman of the late ’70s Dublin rock band best known for such hits as I Don’t Like Mondays and Rat Trap.“We think that we can dominate everything but nature just comes along and wipes us out.

What’s positive is that people understand how fragile we are and they also understand the bravery of all the people who are working to help, things like that.
