It was bad enough the first time around.

What's even more astounding is that-with a few exceptions-they've kept the same original lyrics.

Keep in mind, they're to trying to raise money to support research that will-presumably-be put towards AIDS research.

You figure that they could have at least thought of some new lines that are content-specific.

Another problem I have with these "LIVE AID" concerts is that they don't accomplish much of anything, other than boosting the reputations of a bunch of dilettantish, vapid pop stars, who have no real insight into this issue.

Furthermore, Harry Chapin was doing this type of thing years before Bob Geldof, Bono or any of the other-much less talented-rock musicians took up arms against poverty, famine, pestilence, insert burning social/economic issue of the day.

His family will probably still be doing the same years after these people have vanished from the scene.

I have a real problem with one of the lines in this song. It's: "Thank God it's them instead of you." That is probably one of the most unChristian things I have ever heard and definitely not in keeping with the spirit of Christmas. The song stinks.
