I'm Just a Jealous Guy

[Paul Waters]

I am watching Live Aid on my DVDs. Twenty years ago. The memories.

I had forgotten Brian Ferry's performance. A wonderful rendition of John Lennon's song from 1971's Imagine.

Live Aid seems so far away. Twenty years.

Imagine seems so far away, 34 years.

Lennon was assassinated almost 25 years ago.

But the music still feels as fresh as today.

It seems like a lifetime ago.

It really does seem like a better time. I don't know why, but it does..

Yes, maybe it's just nostalgia, but the original one seemed more genuine. Live8 appeared kind of forced - like, "OK it's been 20 years now since LiveAid, I guess we have to do something"
