"It's twelve noon in London, seven AM in Philadelphia, and around the world it's time for Live Aid ...." So said Richard Skinner to open the show. Seems like yesterday.
I think we can play a little 6 Degrees of LiveAid with Jake. For instance, this spectacular U2 performance of Bad...
and the scene from Brothers where they discuss listening to this song when they were in high school...
Or how about David Bowie doing a killer version of Heroes at LiveAid which he dedicates to his then 14 year old son...
And son all grown up now...
Honorable mention: Beach Boys at LiveAid singing Wouldn't It Be Nice...which is featured in Bubble Boy.
I haven't figured out how Style Council singing Walls Come Tumbling Down at LiveAid works in the 6 Degrees game, I just love to watch Paul Weller dancing around.
I'd love to hear other memories from that day.
Jake is engaging in some philanthropy of his own. Here is his PSA for Stand Up To Cancer, airing tonght during the Major League Baseball All-Star game:
Jake and the PSA director talk about how cancer has affected them:
