Ahh...Christmas 1984. I was a preteen dorklet head over heels for New Wave music and then all my favorite British pop stars made a record for the starving in Africa. I remember it like it was yesterday. In my DayGlo pink shirt and skinny tie, short boy's regular haircut. Don't forget the blond piece in the front like John Taylor from Duran Duran. My mother swore I was the only girl that brought in male pop star photos to SuperCuts. But they were all so pretty!
Anyway, I watched the making of BandAid and the video for the song over and over again. It still gives me chills when I hear Paul Young start the opening line. Yes, I know who sang each part. That was the year I fell in love once and for all with Bob Geldof and learned you can change the world one little bit at a time.
The Littlest Spa is selling piles of Gift Certificates for the holidays. You should buy one, too!
