Original Note:
The entire Live Aid concert was a response to the famine in Ethiopia. The broadcast had numerous breaks to appeal/lecture directly to people (e.g. Geldof asking for money https://youtu.be/bvCvNupAhYg?si=W_VQyEmfVisi8dW6) The concert was also political in nature as can be viewed as a contrast to Reagan/Thatcher policy https://www.counterfire.org/article/live-aid-25-years-qwell-done-usq/ https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/margaret-thatcher-demanded-uk-find-ways-to-destabilise-ethiopian-regime-in-power-during-1984-famine-10390940.html
