On July 13, 1985, two simultaneous concerts that featured many legends was broadcasted globally. Bob Geldof went to Ethiopia after hearing about the most recent famines and witnessed all the unfortunate things that were happening to these people.

Out of all the music I have heard recently, the one that I believe was the best exhibit source for this assignment was “Getting Better” by the Beatles. Unlike the other songs in the Sgt.

The relationship between McCartney, Lennon, and Dylan is something that changed the way of music for good. Besides the fact they were all good songwriters apart, when Lennon met McCartney, they were the start of a song writing movement in the industry that changed how people saw artists and song writers – because for once they were one and the same.

This is evident as well when he says…
