We Are the World 2010…

Posted under How I See It by Mike

As any patriotic, red blooded, American, I sat down Friday evening and watched the Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Olympics. Okay, I watch “part” of the ceremonies. Hours upon hours of introductions of countries you forgot about since geography class can be a bit mind numbing.

However, I did find the commercial for the ‘We Are the World 2010′ interesting. A lot of stars that I forgot they got old, or ones that I couldn’t name. Interesting how they intertwined Michael Jackson (along with her sister) into the video. Either way, it was fun to watch and made me a bit nostalgic for the original 25 years ago. It seems like I was just a young, newly married man when Bruce and Stevie along with all the others, sang it out for Africa.

For those who would love to go back or who don’t remember the orginal. Here’s a bit of history:

    that song brings back some special, fun memories – maybe I should write about it!

  2. Anne Said,

    I loved the original! It’s what defined my high school years (showing MY age here – ha).

    I had forgotten what a good job they’d done with that song. That was the year I graduated from college. Boy, Bob Dylan just can’t not sound like himself.

    You would think that since we are in the same time zone as the Olympics, we should be able to see the events live on NBC. Nope. Delayed. Whenever I go online to check for news about basketball, I also see the results for events that NBC will show later.

    I saw this brought back to TV recently as well. It definitely reminds me of my childhood.

    Thanks for visiting my blog, Mike. This post made me laugh. My 17 year old daughter is fascinated by the two different We Are the Worlds.

    I think the remake was a dumb idea. Why not write something new.

    But then again, I’m just a cranky ol bartender, what do I know.

    LOL
