My primary issue with "Do They Know It's Christmas" is most of the afflicted are Muslim, so even if they did know, they wouldn't care. But music for propaganda, marketing or reminding the douchebags of the world that there's more to Christmas than whether they get a Nintendo or not is a good thing.
I worked Christmas at a record store. YIKES. That Christmas the Peanuts Christmas album was huge, as was the Aaron Neville Christmas. I love Aaron Neville even though his style is, shall we say quirky? The Peanuts was thankfully mostly instrumental so it could easily play in the background, but it didn't get played much because pleasant background music isn't what sells in music stores. That Christmas I missed meeting Frank Thomas while I was in the back of the store. But not a serious loss; when told that I said "The guy who invented Wendy's?" The black girls I work with titled me the whitest girl in America. Then I missed John Cusack buying gifts for his sisters on Christmas Eve. Now HE I knew and was devastated to have missed him.
