Trump is 'vulgar fool' but world should fear tech titans, says GeldofAt 68, Bob Geldof is back with The Boomtown Rats' first album in 36 yearsPARIS - Bob Geldof ruffles his white hair in front of the mirror to get it just dishevelled enough for the camera. Geldof is a man, in his own words, who cannot keep his "gob shut". Geldof is back "making noise" -- as he puts it -- with The Boomtown Rats, the Irish punk band that first brought him to fame in the late 1970s, with their first album in 36 years. - 'Political infantilism' -The tech revolution came at the worst possible time, Geldof believes, just as "we're going to a period of political infantilism. Xi Jinping is a ruthless, oppressive autocrat, (Turkish President Recep Tayyip) Erdogan is a simple dictator and Trump a vulgar fool."
