The LA Times compares rockers to Mrs. Jellyby...it is a reference to a character in Dickens.

Actually, the LA Times writer should be ashamed of himself, for Geldof's personal life does have parallels to Mrs. Jellyby...LINK
But Geldof's personal tradgedy has more to do with the drug infested Rock world than with his involvement with aid to Africa....
Geldof has long stressed his motivation with Africa had more to do with the Irish rememberance of the Potato famine than with a wish to get publicity...and in this, I believe him...
The editorial requires registration, but you know "bugmenot.com"...but believe me, it is not worth the effort.
