I am sensing there is some animosity between Geldof and Ure, based on some of the text in the main article. Can we please get sources on this, and what is the basis for the animosity? Is this an artistic, business, or personal difference? Is it public or verifiable enough to warrant inclusion in an article on a living person? If so, can we flesh it out and have sources and references? Thanks!Jdubowsky 09:56, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

That's the worst picture of Midge I've ever seen. He's a handsome guy, but here he looks like a used car salesman.128.147.38.10 05:01, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Sources, please. Ultravox, Visage, and so on are not obscure bands. There are decades of clippings, reviews, as well as books published on these bands and the New Wave and New Romantic movements as well. Jdubowsky 03:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Honorary Degrees

wow. what did midge get those degrees for? how did you hear about this? could you please elaborate on the degrees... generally honorary doctorates are awarded for some kind of stated reason; it would be interesting and culturally significant to list the reasons here. was it for the charity work? The use of borrowed chords in pop music? Also, it would be super great if you could cite your sources or references. If you don't know how to cite them, just slam them right into the text of the article. Someone will figure out how to sort them out and make them follow wiki style. The sources can be websites or newspapers (please add the date of publication and page #) or a magazine, anything. It's really cool to have sources. Thanks for your work on the Midge Ure article!

[edit] Chronology

Somebody needs to straighten this out. Visage started before he joined Ultravox - and is, in fact, how he came into contact with them (via Billy Currie) to begin with. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.130.102.236 (talk • contribs) 06:55, 3 October 2006.
