"We Are the World"

The 80's video marathon marches on and they've gotten to the U's which brings up 'USA for Africa - We Are the World'. Yes, it's strange to hear (and watch) this on Labor day but some days you just have to roll with the punches. Some general observations:
  • Relia has taught us that the proper way to appreciate this song is to spin in a circle and clap. Sometimes the dizzyness will get to you and you have to sit down for a minute but it's important to get back up and do it some more. If you want to hug a doll while doing this, you may.
  • Who sings right before Bruce Springsteen? The FP Gal says that it's Al Jarreau. Let's go to Wikipedia...and...she's right!
  • I think it was right after this that they got together to sing about Ben Afleck and what their relationship entails.
  • Separated at birth?




I should note that the clapping thing happens whenever she hears applause. It makes ordinary TV watching much more amusing.

I don't even know who that other person IS, but I doubt overmuch Tom Baker would appreciate you comparing the two! :P

Actually, I think he'd be fine with that. The other person is fairly famous and well respected throughout the world.
