At the risk of stating the obvious, RW is saying here that in spite of all his well-founded pessimism over global affairs, the events of Live Aid have given him at least some cause for hope. Live Aid scored a world first in linking the UK and US events live by satellite; RW sees this as a significant victory for compassion over military/political interests and vacuous entertainment.
Last year, the Live Aid 20th Anniversary event, Live 8, saw RW reunited with DG, RW and NM as the highlight of the London show.
