Episode 80 - USA for Africa “We Are the World” (b/w “Grace”)

Toph leads the discussion and review of USA for Africa’s 1985 recording ‘We Are the World' – including, as always, albums + songs on our radar and much more!

 

For the first time, the brothers-brothers dive into an A-Side.  After discussing some pigskin, including both fantasy football and the emergence of Toph’s alma matter, the boys dissect this classic project and the pop culture phenomenon which ensued.  Which performers drank beer during the sessions?  Which artists drove themselves to the studio?  Who wore the commemorative sweatshirt?  Why did Waylon Jennings walk out?  Who found a way to get their entire backing band into the room?  And, who – besides the lead producer and conducter – was really in charge?  Hold our beer and find out, as we make a brighter day.  Because after all, it’s for the children.  There’s a choice you’re making…and it’s to tune in!  LFG!
