I enjoyed it last night but, apart from the small number of black singers and musicians, I can’t help feel both the original & Live8 benefited the performers rather than the people it was meant to benefit. But it still raised a lot of money which shouldn’t be ignored. #bandaid40

#BandAid #BandAid40 Remember my middle school Music teacher trying to be all "Down with the kids" about this, glad they kinda 'cancelled' that single now too, sick of hearing it EVERY CHRISTMAS STILL

Oooh. Eric Clapton doing a benefit show for an African nation.

You can almost smell the internal conflict.

Oef, die #BandAid40 mix van de drie band aid collectives is echt niet te doen. Wie heeft bedacht dat dit een goed idee was? Ik hou het bij het origineel uit 1984 (al vind ik de 1994 versie ook best aardig). youtu.be/je7k8LGmjNA?...

#Bandaid40 The mega version of this single comes out Friday. So buy it! Stream it! Let's keep raising money for this incredible organization... Going strong after 40 years. #feedtheworld

#Bandaid40 Bob Geldof was knighted for his charity work in 1986 by Queen Elizabeth.

#Bandaid40 To date, Band Aid International has raised £145 million for famine in Africa.

#Bandaid40 British pop was in my blood in 1984. I was fully 100% obsessed with anything UK. This is SUCH a moment from my youth. I remember being so proud to buy 3 copies of the 45 the day it came out.

#bandaid40 This day was absolute chaos! And this documentary is freaking brilliant.

#bandaid40 Baby Fifi Trixabelle Geldof just wandering around with all the greatest pop stars of the '80's....

#bandaid40 Amazing that Neil from The Young Ones was there....

Status Quo was hysterical!

Watching the #bandaid40 documentary.... Items of note: Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet were good friends.

Harry Styles greatly resembles Paul Young.

More thoughts to come.

Okay, yes they did, but we didn't know they knew, we're just popstars by Lyrics of the Lost Play along at home with the lyrics: [Paul Young] It's Christmas time There's no need to be afraid At Christmas time We let in light and we banish shade [Boy George] And in our world of plenty We can ...
