– what was easily the most
emotional moment of the whole
concert – the documentary footage
set to The Cars’
Drive.
Elsewhere this issue we go in
depth with some of the unsung
heroes of devious, deviant pop
antics: Shriekback. Not least
because the first track from their
new album sums up the spirit of
Classic Pop.
Take a look for
Now
Those Days Are Gone
on YouTube
for a video which flashes back to
images of
The Tube,
Frankie Say,
Leigh Bowery, and Siouxsie Sioux.
But that’s not to say they’re
being overly nostalgic. They
poetically take on those for whom
that past is always more exciting
than the future in another new
song,
The King Of The Tree:
“The
schlock of the new? Let’s not rise
to the bait. Why should we work
with the kind of old fools who can’t
recalibrate?”
And that really was the spirit of
Live Aid too – doing something
new and different, and trying to
change the future. And I guess
we all remember where we were
at the time, because we all could
feel that history was in the making.
As Daryl Hall told us, “In most
cases, the things people tell you
are significant landmarks in your
career you don’t realise at the
time. But with Live Aid, on the day
I thought ‘This is huge’…”
