Duran Duran is onstage in Rome, Italy, a place close to my heart. I'm reminded of the concert 20 years ago, Live Aid, which raised funds for famine in Ethopia. I remember how young everyone was, a lot of the greats weren't the huge stars yet that they would come. Madonna sang Holiday. Bryan Adams was still that baby-faced boy. Freddie Mercury was there looking quite healthy as he fronted his band Queen. U2's anthem Sunday Bloody Sunday rang out that day. It's interesting to see how many of the performers are back for this concert and how much their careers have changed since then. Madonna is a mega-superstar, U2 one of the biggest rock bands in the world, while Duran Duran have all but faded away.
Dido's doing Thank You in London. Strange without Eminem.
