A little known fact from the 1985 Live Aid event broadcast all over the world and featuring star-studded musical acts performing in either the UK or the US.

Except for this guy:

“After performing at Wembley Stadium in England July 13, 1985, Phil Collins had only a few hours to make another appearance in Philadelphia. He crossed the Atlantic on a Concorde. Collins admitted in later interviews that some people perceived him negatively as "showing off" by playing both venues in one day.”

Was never prouder of being a musician and music aficionado than seeing so many caring musicians pool their resources so selflessly.

I remember we had an all day party and we thought it was super cool that Phil did what he did.
As a side-note,would be great if air travel was a quick as the Concorde.:pullhair:

Why I love Miley: Reason # 342

Who can go from a sweet country folk Tom Petty ballad, to a devilish red dress rocking soul filled number. without breaking a sweat. I read the comments section and it's unanimous. I don't think I've ever read a negative one.

Nowhere land
A little history now. Jean deBreteuil is the drug dealer who killed Janis, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison. And others too. He is the son of aristocrat french society. His drug was too pure and too strong. He is mentioned in the Doors song "Love Street," is said to reference Courson's shopping excursions with Breteuil, whom he loathed: "She has robes and she has junkies, lazy diamond-studded flunkies." (He changed "junkies" to "monkeys" in the final version.) Tensions mounted as Courson began sampling Breteuil's deadly wares. Pamela Courson, the gf of Morrison was sharing her time and affection with deBreuil and Morrison. Morrison was more an alcoolic than an heroin addict. Pamela was the real drug addict but it's not mentioned in the movie the Doors because Courson's family insisted to review the scenario. He is probably the inspiration of the song The pusher from the group Steppenwolf. Keith Richard was a regular customer of DeBreteuil and Marianne Faithfull said "what doesn't kill Keith Richards makes him stronger".

Anyway, very interresting things to read. And my advice, don't ever do that kind of drugs, just read and stay away from that sh*t.
Did This French Aristocrat Have a Hand in the Deaths of Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and Other '60s Icons?
