What a day, yes? On this day 25 years ago, from Wembley Stadium in London and in JFK Stadium in Philadelphia, the Live Aid concert organized by Bob Geldof to raise money for famine. All sorts of major acts, from Simple Minds to The Who performed. The Hooters opened in Philadelphia with "All You Zombies". With anticipated Beatles and Led Zepplein reunions, this was a cannot miss MTV television event. Only Paul McCartney performed, but the living members of Led Zeppelin took the stage, and kicked some ass. Any requests?

All You Zombies Show Your Faces
Political junkie that I am, I have been watching the Democratic National Convention with great interest and it has just been terrific entertainment.
Most of the media outlets are just gushing with the thought King Barack ascending to the throne. Over at media headquarters, MSNBC, Olbermann and Matthews are cat fighting in their support. Others marvel at Obama, some fainting and some crying. His majesty graces cover after cover of the weekly magazines such as Time and Newsweek. I can't remember more accolades on a cover boy with so little to back it up since Kansas City Royal baseball phenom Clint Hurdle appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
With all the Dems eagerly backing such a novice, you wonder if they are cast under a spell, or are lemmings, or ZOMBIES!
A clip from "The Ghost Breakers" 1940 with Bob Hope.
Hat Tip to Don Luskin and The Conspiracy To Keep You Stupid.
And now, for your listening pleasure, from Live Aid in 1985, The Hooters perform All You Zombies!
