  @BlackDeath17123 Gotta add, NOT all of America is given several days off of work. Most Workers in the United States in fact. Talk to the folks at your local McDonald's and Walmart ask them how many paid vacation days they got to celebrate the December holidays this year?

  It also insinuates that there are no rivers in Africa. There are many, such as the Nile, the Niger, and the Zaire. At the time of the 2004 release, the World Development Movement spoke out on this issue, describing the lyrics as "patronising, false and out of date", although there was no attempt ...

  The song presents a very bleak view of Africa, which the lyrics appear to refer to as a whole. Some of these, such as the suggestions (if read literally) that the continent has no rainfall or successful crops, have been seen as absurd by critics.

  It was an awful record considering the mass of talent involved. And it wasn't done shyly it was the most self-righteous platform ever in the history of popular music.

  In a 1985 Time Out interview, Morrissey gave his views about the song:

  'I'm not afraid to say that I think Band Aid was diabolical. Or to say that I think Bob Geldof is a nauseating character. Many people find that very unsettling, but I'll say it as loud as anyone wants me to. In the first insta...

In 1986, the anarchist band Chumbawamba released the album Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records, as well as an EP entitled "We Are the World", jointly recorded with US band A State of Mind, both of which were intended as anti-capitalist critiques of the Band Aid/Live Aid phenomenon.

  @penepyn Thank you for your response. It's great that you are aware of Occupy. Fact of the matter is that Occupy has already changed things. Before Occupy there was no National discussion of Income Inequality on the mainstream news. We shifted the National dialogue to issues that truly matter.

@BlackDeath17123 The song lyrics are "Say a prayer for the other ones"! My argument is that this song does NOT mobilize people to make the political and economic changes necessary to end world hunger. It does just the opposite. The songs tells us to take a moment and "pray" for the less fortunate...

  @BlackDeath17123 No. Christmas is not a world wide symbol. You are being ethnocentric. The song itself is telling us to feel bad because not everyone is Christian. This is wrong. And should we just "say a prayer" as we stuff ourselves on food harvested by indentured servants? Just say a prayer th...

  Child rapists prey on "under-privileged" children because they have fewer resources and are deemed less likely to tell. Michael Jackson and Sandusky are the same kind of phony humanitarians who really just want access to child victims.
