One of my first musical memories is “We Are the World”.
My babysitter gave me the VHS of the taping for my third birthday, and I was obsessed. I watched it over and over again, and fell in love with the artists, particulary Cyndi Lauper and Kenny Rogers. I would demand to watch it nightly, and soon knew all of the words by heart,
This video and performance still holds a special place in my heart, not just for all the the amazing artists who were a part of it, but also because of the cause it supported.
All these years later, a documentary is cming to Netflix later this month, and after viewing the trailer, it’s definitely worth a watch!
If you haven’t seen the iconic performance, well, let me educate you on one of history’s greatest musical moments!
Seriously, how great is that???
Watching this tonight for probably the eight millionth time made my little heart happy.
I can’t wait for the Netflix special.
“The Greatest Night in Pop” debuts on Netflix on January 29th.
After a few years apart due to personal issues, Ann and Nancy Wilson seem to have worked out their familial differences, and are ready to rock into 2024.
Their first performance together in a few years happened earlier this week in Highland, California at the Yaamava Casino, and they killed it.
Ann Wilson is 73, and Nancy Wilson is 69.
Let that sink in.
Also, how badass in Nancy’s outfit? I’d totally wear that.
Seriously, these women are amazing, and they will be on the road in 2024 with Def Leppard, Journey, Cheap Trick and The Steve Miller Band.
First off, I’m just happy that Ann and Nancy Wilson are on good terms again. For awhile there, there was some family drama, and they were doing some solo stuff, but now they’ve reportedly have been working on some music together once more, and Nancy even joined Ann at the encore of her final show of her solo tour in Santa Rosa this week for their classic “Barracuda”:
Now, before anyone gets salty, Ann is 73, and can still pop some high notes out there. All of them? No. But at 23, that song would be hard to nail, let alone 50 years later. She’s still got some pipes, and Nancy can still slay the strings.
Honestly, I just get so inspired seeing these musicians in their seventies and beyond still killing it.
Kudos!!!
Now I can just impatiently wait for new music from Heart.
Being a child of the 80’s and growing up in the MTV era – you know, back when they had music videos? Good times- I was more than happy to chat with the iconic Boy George of Culture Club this week!
How much fun is he? I just adore him even more now.
Boy George with Culture Club, Howard Jones and Berlin are hitting the road this Summer, and you can catch them in KC at the Starlight Theater on August 8th!
