If the UN wants to get serious about the world's hunger problems

they need to get Ronnie James Dio on the horn STAT!

I think we can all agree that the efforts of Live Aid, USA for Africa, etc., while undertaken with the best of intentions, generally produced a lackluster melange of rotting aid packages and misappropriated funding -- with one glaring exception:

HEAR 'N AID

Ronnie James got it right: Riffs = Chomp

You can't just sing a few notes and expect it to translate to food on a plate. It takes arpeggios. It takes ginormous hair. It takes copious amounts of leather and/or spandex. Dammit, it takes YNGWIE and the NUGE.

Just a heads-up: at approximately the 3:30 mark, most people will suddenly hear white noise. Do not be alarmed, as this is simply a result of your body's natural defense mechanisms kicking in and protecting you against excess riffage. Some people have a greater tolerance - recent clinical studies have shown that residents of Tinley Park, IL, for example, can typically hear the entire guitar solo through the Buck Dharma riff - but on average, most people find the riff-trading sequence between George Lynch and Neal Schon to be too much to handle and their ears fade out accordingly.
