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.
Given that Geldof has been around for 28 years and Bono for 24, I dont think either of them can be classed as transitory
Bump for Harry Chapin, half of all his concerts were charity benefits. That's what I call practicing what you preech... except Harry didn't preech much, just led life the way he thought it should be led. Taken away from us far too soon.
