Ouch, I can still remember laughing at the 20th anniversary of Woodstock, and here I am staring down the 20th anniversary of LiveAid? As it turns out, my buddy Levi is holding a contest where he's giving away three copies of the LiveAid DVD in exchange for your rememberances of that day.
As for me, I worked a 10-hour shift at McDonald's, most of which was spent installing a freezer curtain inside a unit in our parking lot. It was 90 degrees with heavy humidity on the outside, while the freezer was hovering somewhere around zero.
How I survived I'll never know. I like to think of it as a character building experience. And McDonald's got a freezer curtain installed rather competently by a high school kid for the princely sum of $3.85/hour.
That meant I got to catch the front end of the performances from London (Sting singing Money for Nothing with Dire Straights and U2's set of which Bad had to be the highlight), and then the massive finale in Philly once I got back from work.
In any case, stop by Levi's place for your shot at the DVD.
Hey man, so is that your official entry? Thanks for the link! I’ve also posted about it on my blog (http://twelveblackcodemonkeys.com/read/1030341.htm) so if folks want to post their memories publicly under that they can too. I just had a thought that I hadn’t mentioned my own memories about it, so will be doing that later today. Thanks again!
