Its important to acknowledge and remember the reason for the Live Aid concert to which The Cars and so many other amazing artists gave of their time and talents to the cause. Live Aid, a 1985 fund-raising effort headed by Bob Geldof (who had also organized the charity group Band Aid the previous year), induced millions of people in the West to donate money and to urge their governments to participate in the relief effort in Ethiopia. Some of the proceeds also went to the famine hit areas of Eritrea. The event was one of the most widely-viewed television broadcasts in history.
