The singers Bono and Bob Geldof have incurred the wrath of Brian Johnson, a fellow rock star and frontman of AC/DC, over their celebrity activism.
Johnson, the gravel-voiced British singer of Australias biggest rock band, has joined a growing group of critics of Geldof and the U2 singer over their very public charity work, saying they should stop lecturing audiences about charity work and instead do their good deeds in private.
I do it myself, I dont tell everybody Im doing it, Johnson, 62, told Melbournes Herald Sun newspaper.
I dont tell everybody they should give money they cant afford it. When I was a working man I didnt want to go to a concert for some bastard to talk down to me that I should be thinking of some kid in Africa.
Johnson described Geldof, who also organised the Live 8 benefit concerts in support of the Make Poverty History campaign in 2005, as a canny lad.
He did what he though was right at the time but it didnt work, Johnson said of Geldofs Live Aid concert. The money didnt go to poor people. It makes me mad when people try to use politics or charity for publicity. Do a charity gig, fair enough, but not on worldwide television.

I find myself agreeing with Johnson here.

There are many celebrities that do charity work and donate heavily without making it public knowledge. Brian Johnson hit the nail on the head. You don't have to adopt an African or brag in public to be a decent person.
