This coming Wednesday is the 37th anniversary of one of the biggest rock ’n roll concerts of all time, Live Aid. I remember watching it on MTV all day and all of the night on that day over three decades ago!
In honor of this anniversary, I’ve got a half dozen links to online articles about this monumental day in rock ’n roll history. Then there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions as to what’s coming up here on the blog next week.
