	Everybody's bitching about Dylan's comment about farmers
and also his lousy performance. But he's the only subject of gripes
about this event so far. Well, I've got a problem with the whole
Live Aid idea: it focuses only on the short term (which is indeed
a critical problem) and addresses nothing for the long term.
Why not? When this food runs out, then what will happen? Nobody
seems to give a shit about what's going to happen a year or so 
from now. 
	Maybe some of those dumb jerks known as news anchors
will raise the point, but I doubt it. "Not a flashy story" is
what they probably think. They always have the facts wrong 
anytime I hear a story on the news I happen know about through
other sources. So I don't believe a lot of what they say.
The news media - fuck 'em.
	This whole fiasco pisses me off! I don't mind helping 
people at all, but I fear it may be wasted in the long term.
