...original release of Do They Know It's Christmas?, and Geldof's resurrection of the song--featuring contemporary stars like Robbie Williams and Chris Martin from Coldplay--came out in Europe last week and is a hit again (it's available in the U.S. as an import at music chain stores and as a download from bandaid20.com) Proceeds will again help starving Africans, especially those in Sudan's Darfur region, where fighting between rebels and government-backed militias has left 70,000 dead and more than 2 million homeless in what Washington calls genocide.
