I was listening to Gil while mowing the horse pastures last week. Iconic voice.

Night Flight music!
Edit to add…
For the day that is in it….
I sort of listened to Bowie tonight, as Tesla in The Prestige.
Great movie if you haven’t seen it.
Cheers. Will check it out. This is not America is from The Falcon and the Snowman.
40 Years ago this weekend was live aid. Checking some of the concerts out on YD. I was only 11. I remember the day but not much of the music. I remember Phil Collins performed at two concerts (London & Philadelphia) making it all possible by flying concorde : ). Any one at the gigs?

Great story. Apparently 90,000 people and 95 degrees with high humidity… must have been a scorcher. Never likely to see gigs even remotely close to live aid…
