Anyone remember Live Aid? I don't really, 'cause I was about 5 at
the time but I kinda remember this song. I heard it recently and
thought it would be fun to tab it. Just basic chords and easy to
play! There were a lot of famous singers who did this song, I don't
know exactly who though, I heard Bob Dylan in there, and I kinda
recognized some of the voices but I'm not sure who they were.
Anyway, I'm sure they all meant well but OH MY GOD THIS SONG IS
THE CHEESIEST, CORNIEST, MOST EMBARASSING SONG EVER!!!! And that's
why it's such fun! :)
