 Bono didn't write the song...it was Geldof and Ure.

 Never been quite sure if Midge Ure was related to Ian Ure, but I've always liked to think so after Ure's cock up in the LC final

 I do think Ian Ure looked a lot like Glenn Gregory of Heaven 17, apart from being in black and white.  I suspect Gregory favours Wensleydale cheese.

I think he means be thankful you're not a starving African child.

Agreed!

And also, you;re right about the line from the song, as far as I can tell

Bono "really, really loathed" that line. But Gandalph made him sing it, and it is very powerful too.

The song, no. Though it did raise awareness. The sentiment and continuing pressure did see a lot of 3rd world debt wiped off.

Still no solution though. And situations like that in Zimbabwe don't help, though that's a different issue.

It hit hard enough for plenty of people to part with their money,whatever way you want to look at it.Some may say that was good marketing line,others will say it made people aware of what's happening in africa.

If it did snow in Africa they'd all fucking freeze to death. They are glad for no snow.

This one is an appeal for cash for disadvantaged bankers: "And there won't be City bonuses this Christmas time, the only thing they'll get this year is fired..."
