the making of "We are the World" song and video.

Because so many of the A-list of American music were present, Simon remarked to someone that "if a bomb went off here, John Denver would be back on top".

We put off watching the doc but finally did so the other day. It was pretty good. Mainly because of the dynamic of so many megastars present and how Quincy Jones managed their egos.

Most were in LA for the AMAs but others flew cross country to be there. The mood went from light to motivated when Bob Geldof spoke to them about what he saw during a trip to Ethiopia.

What was especially of interest was how uncomfortable Dylan seemed re his vocal contribution. Same with Springsteen.

It is worth a watch.
