In 1985, Bob Dylan joined a number of other musicians who played Live Aid. The benefit concert, organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure, aimed to raise relief funds for famine in Ethiopia. In the middle of his set, though, Dylan made a comment that rubbed Geldof the wrong way. He described it as “crass,” but it inspired another benefit concert.
