A look back at "We Are The World," three decades later

1. Whenever I see the complete list of musicians that participated in that session, I am reminded of that great rock and roll classic, "Rubber Biscuit."

   The songwriting aspect is tough, because you're trying to write a song that appeals to everyone, that sells a billion copies, and that attempts to say why everyone is singing the song in the first place. Richie and Jackson's song was probably better than the British entry (those poor Ethiopians can't enjoy a traditional English Christmas!!!).

2. I am also reminded of this song by the Ramones that parodies many of the rock charities of that era. http://youtu.be/0VV5wFBtC_o
