Ian Brown Attacks Bono
Yahoo! Music, Sep 17, 2007 7:00 pm PDTFormer Stone Roses singer Ian Brown has lashed out at Bono and Bob Geldof for the way that they hi-jacked the G8 Summit, and has claimed that they should be served with a restraining order.
In an extraordinary interview with London's The Guardian, Brown said they hadn't achieved anything with the Live 8 concert other than helping Pink Floyd sell millions more albums.
Elsewhere the ex-Stone Roses frontman claimed that groups of Taliban fighters should be made to patrol inner-city areas at night, that lambs should be made to graze on the roof of the White House, and that a panel of dolphins should be recruited to advise on crisis planning.
Brown releases his new solo album The World Is Yours in the U.K. on September 24.
