Karen and Tony are joined by special guest Matt Sloan and the three share their feelings about all-star charity recordings and the TV series M-A-S-H.
Show notes:
- Karen and Tony may have groaned when Matt mentioned Marvel's Secret Wars, but the covers do look exciting.
- If you haven't seen the We Are The World video in a while, it's worthwhile to catch up.
- If Karen had her way, we would have talked more about Do They Know It's Christmas which predated We Are The World by a year.
- For people who like to see Bono in an odd hat, a twelve-minute making-of-Band-Aid-video.
- We may be reading a bit too much into it, but in a side-by-side comparison, it's interesting that white Brits wrote a charity song about "they" and black Americans wrote a charity song about "we".
- There are more than a few stars that have fallen out of the sky since We Are the World was recorded.
- Actually, by "Dylan standards", Bob's singing is pretty good on We Are the World.
- Historians and critics may not give high marks to The Boomtown Rats, but remember, Don't Believe What You Read.
- Bob Geldof's excellent memoir is called Is That It?.
- Huey Lewis is listed as "Harp, Vocals" on the official Clover website. Be sure to check out Huey's 70's hairdo on the Band Members page.
- The actor who portrayed Father Mulcahy is named William Christopher. Don't despair for Christopher's acting career. He's currently playing Father Tobias on Days of Our Lives.
- On February 28, 1983, over 100 million people watched the M-A-S-H finale. While Tony's Bobcats won that night, they fell in the state Semifinals to the eventual class 3A state champions, Marion Iowa's Lynn-Mar Lions at Veteran's Auditorium in Des Moines.
