The Boomtown Rats (1978-1984) were a 1980s
punk rock group headed by
Bob Geldof who was later known for organizing charity rock concerts such as
Band Aid[?] (intended to help famine victims in
Ethiopia),
Live Aid, and
Hands Across America[?] (intended to help homeless people in America).
Their greatest hit was I Don't Like Mondays, which commemorated a school shooting perpetrated by a 14-year old who claimed she did it because she 'didn't like Mondays'.
