I did. I don't know that I remember it from 1984, but my school had a fundraiser for it, and we watched it at home on our giant 24" console TV. It was eye-opening to me, and a decade later I studied eco development in Sub-Saharan Africa.
I hadn't made that connection until now. Huh. Thank you for that.
The artwork was meant to be confrontational. Extremely so. It was the ME decade, and it was far too easy to focus on the cola wars and peak Spielberg, and ignore the news about tens of millions of humans at risk of starvation. The artists behind the event and album weren't pulling punches.

Peace Corps? I think you need to consider that what we did in the 1980's, 40 years ago, with no internet, almost no cable tv, was an attempt to ease the suffering in Africa. If you can't find that in yourself, keep in mind that in 2062 some kid is going to shit all over your gen's good deeds.

Were you even alive in 1984? It was a global charity event. If you could do better, do it and stop ripping on stuff you're obviously clueless about. Merry Christmas.

You realize the album and concert were a fundraiser for African famine relief, right? Right?

If the swastikas we're backwards, my money is on a Mastriano supporter being the guilty party.

A shallow comparison makes a better blurb, but for all his weirdness, Fetterman dedicated his time to improving lives for the citizens of Braddock, a town that couldn't afford a full-time mayor. He succeeded. The Dems are terrible at getting a focused message out.
