Yes I'm Lucky, Yes I'm Lucky

I actually liked today's video and song by Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger circa 1985. He either can't win or he cheats to do so, but either way he's "Lucky In Love"... "Lucky In Love" by Mick Jagger from the album: She's the Boss released: 1985 U.S. Billboard Hot 100 peak: #38

Give Me Just Another Kiss Before the Dawn Breaks Through

I am pretty sure that I'm not the only person that was scared of Mick Jagger back in 1985. All you have to do is watch this video and let your mind take you back to 1985. Between the scary eye makeup, his black tank top, and the manic dancing he does amidst the flashing lights, you know he scared you too. He looks like a vampire in the video and does he lick that girl's shoulder when he's dancing with her? Whatever the case, this was one of Jagger's bigger solo hits which came from his 1985 album "She's the Boss." Here is "Just Another Night"...

Live Aid Anniversary

Wow, I almost let the day go by without a mention that today is the 25th anniversary of Live Aid held both at Wembley Stadium in London and also at JFK Stadium in Philly. Organized by Boomtown Rats' Bob Geldof, the two events drew over 170,000 people total and helped raise money and awareness for famine relief in Ethiopia. There were appearances made by U2, Sting, Elton John, Madonna, Rick Springfield, Run DMC, and Bryan Adams among many others. Also rememberable was the fact that Phil Collins, thanks to a concorde flight across the Atlantic, played both concerts that day.

It's not often that I get to post any Queen in here, but thanks to their performance at Live Aid in 1985, here is piece of their performance...



Now I know I've never got to post any Zeppelin in here until today, but thanks to their reunion of sorts for Live Aid, here is a piece of their performance from that historic day... even though it wasn't a great performance by many standards (including theirs), it's still Zeppelin!




Here's some Mick Jagger and Tina Turner tearing up the stage...




U2 with "Bad"...



And finally, here is the Material Girl performing "Holiday"...

Calling Out Around the World

Yep, even after 23 years, Mick Jagger's and David Bowie's dancing in this video is off the unintentional comedy charts! I thought it was horrible back in 1985, and I don't think any differently today... good to know that some things never change... a remake of the 1964 Martha and the Vandellas classic, here is Bowie and Jagger with "Dancing In the Streets"...
