Like countless thousands, I spent a good deal of Christmas watching my
Live Aid (1985) DVD box set. Much of it -
Sade,
Simple Minds,
Nik Kershaw, Kenny "Footloose" Loggins (
Kenny Loggins) - sent me straight to the fast-forward button. The odd moment had me gawping at the screen, thinking that the 1980s had amounted to a period of collective psychosis: who, I am still wondering, ever came to the conclusion that
Spandau Ballet were a good idea?
