If you are as stuck in the 80’s as me then Click here <—-to read “Revisiting Live Aid” by Julie Wiskirchen. It’s a 1985 vs. 2005 reaction to Live Aid following last year’s release of the concert onto DVD. I only today became aware of this article (thanks Uncle James–who isn’t really my uncle) which is a hilarious yet sentimental review of the 80’s biggest concert phenomenon. And mullets.
A Thompson Twin (who isn’t really a twin):
I watched the original at this guy‘s house here in LA. He was a DJ. Back then I spent lots of time hanging out with people who worked at KMET, and going to metal shows, always with all-access passes that groupies would do damned near anything for but I lucked into because of my friends at the radio station. LOL
It was a show to remember… hahaha too bad I can’t, really!
The 80s were my heyday, dammit. I miss them 🙂
I watched it at a friend’s house. I was fourteen (and a half) We snuck some of her parent’s wine coolers*, but I can still remember watching the concert.
*This is completely true unless you are my mother. If you are, then it’s a complete fabrication. Wait! I’m an old lady now. You can’t ground me anymore…
