Thinking of US politics at the moment I'm reminded of Pink Floyd's In The Flesh (Reprise). The lyrics seem extremely apt. "Are there any queers in the audience tonight? Get them up against the wall. That one in the spotlight doesn't look right to me, get him up against the wall. And that looks jewish, and that one's a coon. Who let all of this riff raff into the room? There's one smoking a joint, and another with spots. If I had my way way I'd have all of you shot". Here's the clip from the film featuring Bob Geldof. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKNpzml6y4k #trump #pinkfloyd #geldof

Band Aid

Kirsty Wark brings Bob Geldof and guests from Band Aid together to share recollections and media clips. They recall how bands arrived at the studio hungover from the night before and how Boy George was woken up in New York by a Geldof call demanding he get on a Concorde flight to London for the session.

Governments tried to levy taxes on the contributions!
