"calling Dr. Bombay" Bernard Fox...
RIP all the victims of Sandy Hook. I believe yesterday was the "anniversary" of that murderous event.

In 1982 just two weeks after the Heimlich maneuver was shown on network TV I saved my baby brother's life from choking on a gob stopper given without supervision. And my family doctor was also a Heimlich. The name is synonymous with life... RIP!
Man, how many lives has that guy saved indirectly? RIP

One of Cornell University's greatest alumni. I met him earlier this year when he was the guest conductor for the university chorus. What a sweet man. Humble and gracious.

Bill -
I believe Status Quo was the opening act at Live Aid in 1985 (Wembley Stadium).
Francis and Rick were supposed to have much more prevalent singing parts in Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas, but they both arrived at the studio stoned and drunk. They sounded so awful that their singing parts were given to other artists. They did manage, however, to provide plenty of entertainment for everyone else.
There were several good stories about the condition of some of the musicians during that late night session. I know Springsteen's voice was completely shredded.

First, that was USA For Africa and, second, Springsteen's voice always sounds shredded.
