40 years ago... LIVE AID was a two-venue benefit concert (London and Philadelphia) and music-based fundraising initiative held on Saturday 13 July 1985.

 

The 1985 Live Aid concert was conceived as a follow-on to the successful charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" which was also the idea of Geldof and Midge Ure.

Old and beautiful polish song from probably the 1960s? (Jacek Lech: "Badz dziewczyna z moich marzen"). Now I have a question for my friends from Poland here: why was this great singer completely forgotten in free Poland after 1989 and why did he die in complete forgotten, as I read in 2007? rafalgorka05-monzanator/22-adriano/?

Recently I have become a fan of old Polish songs from different periods of time: this time a cool tune from the crazy 90s (The movies from the crime series with this song, which I'm posting below, is always present in my memory: when it was broadcast on Polish TV in the mid-90s, my parents wouldn't let me watch it because was for 18+ year-olds. I remember being very upset about it at the time:

There's also intense, almost sporting competition here. The Chopin Competition finals are currently underway; many consider it the most prestigious competition for young pianists in the world. I highly recommend it; in my opinion, the excitement is greater than at Eurovision. LOL

    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
    • Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
