One that‘s been on my TBR pile forever and finally I‘ve read it! Jones uses Live Aid as a structure in which to hang a history of the 1980s, covering much ground from the birth of style magazines to the AIDS epidemic - the latter being a particularly moving chapter. My only gripe is that Jones does like to let us know he was at the centre of the action throughout the decade, and the loud clangs as he drops yet another name do get a bit deafening!
Saturday 13 July 1985, nearly two billion people woke up with one purpose. Nearly a third of humanity knew where they were going to be that day. Watching, listening to, attending: Live Aid.
Billed as the "global jukebox", the event was held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, England (72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (100,000).
The single most important #concert ever.

Also, can I just say, how organised am I to take my photos before I left for the #readingretreat?! #smugface 🤣

Huge amount of Madonna in this one. It's about the whole decade but with a particular focus on Live Aid.
