Snow At Last, Snow At Last, Oh My God, Snow At Last

It's taken 27 years, but the promise of Live Aid has finally borne fruit. How well we remember those heady days of 1985, when by sheer force of gathered talent could hunger be eliminated, starving Africans could be fed, and finally, there could be snow at Christmas time. Why do starving refugees need snow? Who the hell knows.

Consider the song a prayer to the unthinking, uncaring universe. Like all prayers, if you wait long enough, and keep your mind open to anything that could possibly be construed as a positive result of your desires, it will come true.

Behold, there will be snow in Africa.  

Thank you Bob Geldof. Thank you hippy drummers. The universe has answered your prayers and given snow to an area ill-equipped to cope with it.
