I struggled myself to recall several of the artists in the video, though I knew them when I was a kid. I largely left the styles of music they represented behind when I embraced heavy metal. Speaking of which, Ronnie James Dio orchestrated a similar relief effort with artists from the metal world. There were a small number of participants in that endeavor that I did not recognize either, then or now. Fame is fickle and fleeting. Never too early for people to learn that.

Fame is fickle and fleeting indeed. I will check out the Ronnie James Dio one. Thanks for the tip!

The song is called "Stars," by Hear 'n Aid. Don't know why I didn't mention it earlier.

I hope they identified Springsteen.. 1984 was a great year for music (it was that year's American Music Awards after thing where "We Are The World" was recorded).and 1994 was a great year for movies. And we are marking anniversaries for both. But we need to save democracy. That is our #1 priority.
