Behold, the making of "We Are the World," a mammoth undertaking that, whether you like it or not, was an absolute miracle that it got made at all. But Is the documentary about "We Are the World? any good? Listen now and find out!

I am very glad to hear Todd loves We Are The World parodies and homages, i wonder if he's heard the USA For Africa Shreds version

2024-04-06 18:18:30 +0000 UTCThe closest modern thing we have (after Earth) for We Are the World is probably that "Celebrities sing Imagine in their mansions"-thing from the early covid lockdowns. Even if that had collected money for charity I think the view people have of celebrities nowadays is not kind enough for a stunt like it. Also in the fucked up modern political landscape it would probably cause controversy to donate money for a good cause.

Pretty fascinating story about this deeply mediocre song that has been in the ether for most of my life. I still want you to cover Human Highway (which I keep calling "Heartworn Highways" - which you also need to cover - in my head) but this was an interesting one.
