In 1984 Bob Geldof pulled together a band of famous musicians to sing a song “Do They Know It’s Christmas.” to raise money for famine relief. This nostalgic article gets off to a slow start, remembering the British background to the charity song. Then it takes a dark turn into Ethiopia's communist regime doing what communists do best: create famine.
