Default Thought this was amusing in the radio

Live Aid, you remember it all those years ago. Do you recall who was to benefit from the money raised? yea, people, the famine effected people of Africa. What colour were they likely to have been?

This on the radio, Wave 105 a few minutes ago. Stevie Wonder was invited to play Live Aid, but refused – he apparently thought there weren't enough African-American artists on the bill.


found it amusing.

A Google search also found this "he and Michael Jackson supposedly tried to organize a boycott of the event"

Michael Jackson, Prince, The Pointer Sisters , Stevie Wonder and Diana Ross all turned down the opportunity to perform.


what am I not understanding?

It is sad that some people are quick to shine the chip on their shoulder, without thinking that by using the hand at the end of that arm to wave a flag may be better.

We need another live aid now in support of the Ukrainian people, it would be good to unite the world once again and show Putin he will never win.

You may remember this. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-r...-nose-day-film.

I have always thought of Stacey D as a wonderful person given the work she does.

Default It's strange.

I've always found that blood is the same colour, no matter who is shedding it and I wonder why that could be..

I saw a "joke" some years ago, something like this

You are white, you go in the sun you turn red, you get cold you turn blue and you call me coloured?

Its obvious Putin doesn't give a toss about the world's opinion of him, he sees himself as the new Stalin and is on a mission to recreate the old Soviet Union. If a "Live Aid" for Ukraine was held the Russian people would never get to hear about it, they'd probably get the same chest thumping farce as Putin appeared at the other day.

Never was there a bigger field with so many mines in it, every one of which having a prejudicial fuse.
