Benefit pop concert for famine relief
Live Aid, history's biggest pop concert, aims to raise around pounds 1 million an hour today for African famine relief. Its begetter, Bob Geldof , the 32-year-old Irish rock musician, now more famous as a fund-raiser than lead singer of the Boomtown Rats, acknowledges the irony of pop stars saving Ethiopians from starvation: 'It's pathetic that the price of a life is a plastic record. But if that's the way it has to be, you have to use glamour.'
