Since all the concerts and records and money is going to help
the African people, why were there not any African artists
performing at the Live Aid concert.  There are many very 
talented groups from Africa now, such as Fela, Franco, Toure Kunda,
Juluka, etc.  Were the African groups not asked to play?  Did
they offer to play?  Did they decide not to play?  Did I miss
them?  It seems ironic considering the purpose of the concerts.
