He helped save so many lives in poor Africa..


now the suffering poor have doubled!

Do you think the kids of those who would have
died 20 years ago are thankful they`re alive?

It`s obvious that things haven`t turned out the way Bob, amd all of us who donated and fund raised for Band Aid, anticipated it would 20 years down the line

But that doesn`t make it wrong for him to have tried to help in the first place.

Shame on you for even suggesting it.

well, more people are conscious of the problems in africa thanks to people like bob. i dont think fair trade would be doing so well for one. what youre saying akk is a far too simplistic statement. live aid had other implications as well as raising money. it set a precedent and brought the music industry into the political sphere in a major way.

like a poor woman with two kids
