I read about 7 years ago that NONE of the money went out and that it is still in a bank account somewhere where the writers of the song get the interest from the account. Something about political red tape preventing them from helping the people in Africa. Is this true? Did this change? Did they finally use the money for charity. If so, when and where? No one stopped to track where this money went. Everybody just assumed that the money went where we were all told it would go. Wouldn't this level of charity going to Africa relief have shown some serious, serious change and made the news OFTEN? Where did all these proceeds/revenues from the song really go? This song is still raking in the dow. Michael Jackson is said to have given to the most amounts of charities but he is not in the books for having given the most. Just for spreading what he did contribute around the most.

I am hopeful that the planet will probably fix itself eventually, but only after humans become extinct for obvious reasons. It’s not a comeback moodhi, it was just an observation.
