Live Aid on Beeb 2

Oh and Freddie Mercury is without doubt one of the biggest music losses in the history of the world.
I walked the dog down to his house a few weeks ago as it’s been a few years since I went there and it’s not far from me. Always makes me feel a bit sad that it was only a few years later that he’d have been able to get treatment and live a normal life. And angry again at how Aids was viewed in those days. Literally shouted at the radio this week when David Blunkett was on. Will never forget how sickening his comments about it were. However much he pretends these days they weren’t.
 
I caught a few bits of the programmes over the past couple of days, and it took me back to living in Swansea in 1985. I remember driving back to Newton from shopping in Swansea market on the Saturday and listening to it on the car radio, then switching on the telly when I got home to watch more.
What struck me watching it again was the sheer talent of many of the artists, just strolling out on the stage in front of tens of thousands of people, often just accompanying themselves with one instrument, and giving a virtually note perfect performance. Sting comes to mind, Howard Jones, Sade, Phil Collins. Can you imagine doing that and not having your knees turn to jelly? Quite brilliant.

Bit of a hazy recollection of Live Aid day, was in my late teens at the time, sure I watched Queen in the house, and as I walked into the pub, it switched to Philadelphia and Phil Collins was on, little did I know that this was probably one of the best music festivals of all time.
 
I don’t see any stupid fucking Palestinian flags and any smelly stupid wankers that can’t sing shouting about killing Jews can you?

Oh and no Palestinian or Israel (or anyone) should be allowed in stadiums when the football season starts.
You’re quite a one for telling people what to do, what not to do, what to think and what to say. Bit weird for someone who claims to be all “live and let live”.

I don’t believe for one minute that you think people should be waving Israeli and Palestinian flags inside our stadium this season.

I genuinely don’t care what flags people bring. But that wasn’t my point anyway as you know.
