Kate Bush etc. not in Live Aid

	Someone on net.music made a big deal about Kate Bush not 
contributing to Band Aid or Live Aid. Well, David Byrne was ASKED
to contribute and refused; he said in an interview that he did not
feel that this type of activity was the best way to solve the famine
problem. Maybe Kate Bush felt the same way too. Not participating in
some charitable event does not reflect worse on the artist than on
the charitable event itself.

	(This is only Byrne's opinion on Live Aid. It does not necessarily
agree with mine.)
