"And in my horror I recognise myself in it as it passes
Familiar and repulsive and as old as mortal man
This philosophy of brutality, ignorance and hate
Buried deep in everyone waiting to escape
And you must kill it before it kills you and everything in its wake" - Bob Geldof, Roads of Germany

No, Band Aid & Live Aid were down to Mid..not Bob. Mid saw it as a charity stop-gap to something better, a more radical change that never came.
As Geldof & later Bono mouth peice sold out to repeat the same shit, shut up don't think approach. Leaving Mid behind.
