Remember back in the '80s when Bob Geldof (or Quincy Jones) could just get a bunch of rock stars together to make a song and video for charity? That kind of thing doesn't seem to happen much anymore, which is a damn shame. "Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band Aid kind of kicked off the whole charity single craze. It has an all-star cast, including, but not limited to, Bono, Sting, George Michael, Boy George, Phil Collins, and members of Duran Duran, Bananarama, Kool & The Gang, Spandau Ballet, and The Boomtown Rats. This video showed not only that rock stars had compassion and empathy, but that they also had mullets. I'm guessing many of the Ethiopian children who benefitted from the proceeds of this song did not know that it's Christmas because they were Muslim and near death. Merry Christmas.
