I guess there still won’t be any snow in Africa this year.

I wonder how much of the money raised will actually go towards “Ebola research” and how much will be spent on “overhead.”

One good thing about that Band Aid song ("Do They Know It's Christmas") is that it finally retired that John & Yoko song that we used to hear over and over again at Christmastime. You know, the "Happy Xmas" one where the chorus goes "War is Over, If You Want It" - over and over and over.

Now that "Do They Know It's Christmas" is kind of tired after 30 years, I guess it's time to come up with another feel-good holiday song with a catchy and repetitive chorus that will open our wallets up at the malls.

War is definitely not over and children are still starving in Africa. And I reckon Ebola will still be with us years from now when they come up with yet another fund-raising song. But the music will make us feel good and keep those cash registers ringing - count on that anyhow.

I liked the song when I first came out. But, this is the 4th version!! I guess every time some "artists" need some publicity, or a tax write-off, they rework this song. I guess it's too much trouble to come up with a new song.

BTW, I was watching a BBC report about this recently. It said that "Band Aid" came under criticism for the original because there weren't any women in the original singing...they just brought in Banarama for the chorus. You know where their priorities were!

Live Aid was actually pretty good and was broadcast on MTV which was good stuff at the time. I’ve owned the 3 DVD LIVE AID set for years and it is excellent. Lots of great bands of the time.

yep... just throw money at Africa..and those corrupt billionaire leaders, in each country, will make sure that money gets to the proper destination.

these people never learn. the problem with Third World Africa is corruption.

Might be too little and too late. The Ebola plane is routed to pick up someone from Guadalajara Mexico and take them to Atlanta. So either someone really likes Tequila or Obola is now in Mexico.

[right way right]

A song to rid the world of Obola would be even better.

I despise the horrible song “Do They Know It’s Christmas” almost as much as I despise the utter execrable “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” that infects the radio during Christmas.
