Someone on the net objected to Bob Dylan asking that one or two million
dollars of the Live Aid fund be spent on helping to pay the mortgage on
farms in the Midwest. I think Dylan made a valid request. After all
the producers of the food bought to send to the starving Africans could
use a hell of lot more support than what they receive from the purchasers
of their produce. Farmers cannot make a livelihood because they are barely
breaking even on their investment. It is therefore not inappropriate that
Dylan asked for aid for American farmers who need support to produce the food
to send to Africa.
