Bored?

Nothing planned for your 3-day weekend? "I'm bored", you say? Well hop on over to your neighborhood video store and rent the Live Aid DVDs (box set of 4) for hours of weekend entertainment.

You remember Live Aid, don't you? It was in 1985, which I will be the first to admit was ages ago - OMG! - 20 years ago, really?! But I think my lovely readers are for the most part old enough to remember it.

You recall the footage of millions of starving children in Africa, children dying before our very eyes. I hate to bring you down on a Friday afternoon, but here are some notes written by Bob Geldolf when he travelled to Africa in 1985:

There is a child I think maybe it's four months old. The doctor says "No it's two years old." It squats on baked mud, a tattered dusty piece of cotton hangs from one shoulder onto its distended stomach. It's face is huge. A two year old face on a four month body.

So that was the reason for the concert. But now, I just want you to watch and enjoy the live performances of these fabulous 80s bands.

Two simultaneous concerts on two continents - one in London and the other in Philly. There are almost 60 performers, some of them performing up to 5 songs each. Here are just a few of the acts:

Bob Dylan, Queen, David Bowie, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Tom Petty, Hall & Oats, Tina Turner, Elton John, Run DMC, The Cars, Elvis Costello, Sting, Phil Collins, U2, George Michael, The Pretenders, REO Speedwagon, Duran Duran, Patti Labelle, Mick Jagger, BB King, INXS, and the list goes on.

Go get it now. You'll never have to buy another 80s concert DVD again. I promise, you'll absolutely love it.
