The Secret History of Band Aid
"Everybody remembers Band Aid. And -- despite everything -- most people remember Band Aid 2. And now we have Band Aid 20. Which rather begs the question -- why does nobody ever talk about Band Aids 3 to 19? Take a trip down memory lane as NYLPM reminds you of the charity singles we all forgot."
(That last paragraph of Tom's, and that he'll donate a pound to a charity for a link -- My fine man, do you even know it isn't Christmas? Surely there is still time to squeeze but another drop of human kindness? 38? Please?)
