We hebben er lang naar uitgekeken...het bezoek van Joël en vrouwtje Rita. Het was de moeite ! Twee reuze leuke dagen... het kon gewoon niet stuk. Dank zij het initiatief van Joël zijn we samen naar Herentals gereden om er kennis te maken met Laathi & C°. Liliane is een sympathieke dame, met een groot hart, zo is gebleken. Het zal vast niet bij deze ene ontmoeting blijven ... In Turnhout zijn namelijk de eerste stappen gezet om een optreden te organiseren, begin oktober, van Rude Roots, de bluesband waarvan Joël de drummer is. Nadere uitleg volgt zodra definitieve datum bekend is. Het wordt dan vast een grote happening, waarop we iedereen van harte zullen verwelkomen. Hilde en Jef Quo
Band Aid was een Britse liefdadigheidsgroep die in 1984 werd opgericht door Bob Geldof en Midge Ure met als doel geld te werven om de hongersnood in Ethiopië te bestrijden. De naam Band Aid had een dubbele betekenis: een band van musici die hulp biedt voor een noodsituatie, maar tegelijkertijd ook de relativering dat dit project niet meer dan een pleister op een grote wond was.
Begin december 1984 werd de single Do they know it's Christmas opgenomen, geschreven door Bob Geldof en geproduceerd door Midge Ure. Het nummer, dat op 25 november in één dag was opgenomen, bereikte in veel landen, waaronder Groot-Brittannië en Nederland, de eerste plaats. De hoes van de single was gemaakt door Peter Blake.
Whatever you want Whatever you like Whatever you say You pay your money You take your choice Whatever you need Whatever you use Whatever you win Whatever you loose
You're showing of You're showing out You look for trouble Turn around, give me a shout I take it all You squeeze me dry And now today You couldn't even say goodbye
I could take you home On the midnight train again I could make an offer you can't refuse
Whatever you want Whatever you like Whatever you say You pay your money You take your choise Whatever you need Whatever you use Whatever you win Whatever you loose
You're showing of You're showing out You look for trouble Turn around, give me a shout I take it all You squeeze me dry And now today You couldn't even say goodbye
I could take you home On the midnight train again I could make an offer you can't refuse
Whatever you want Whatever you like Whatever you say You pay your money You take your choise Whatever you need Whatever you use Whatever you win Whatever you loose
Once upon a time not so very long ago There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n roll show You had to sit at home and listen to the radio
Then came a man with a rockin'guitar Found himself a beat and he played it near and far Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll
Again again again again, again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again Again again again again, again again again again Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Well, she got her daddy's car and she cruised through the hamburger stand now; Seems she forgot all about the library, like she told her old man now, And with her radio blastin', goes cruisin' just as fast as she can now, And she'll have fun, fun, fun, till her daddy take the T-Bird away.
Well, the girls can't stand her `cause she walks, looks, and drives like an ace now. She makes the Indy five hundred look like a Roman chariot race now. A lotta guys try to catch her, but she leads, `em on a wild goose chase now, And she'll have fun, fun, fun, till her daddy takes the T-Bird away.
Well, she's aching and turns and it looks like she's coming around now And all a little concern 'cause the town is closed and all dump now. (Chor: Dump is the town, dump is the town) Well, they're jumping on earth for some good time getting around now And you have fun, fun, fun, till her daddy takes her t-bird away
A-well, you knew all along that your dad was gettin' wise to you now, And since he took your set of keys, you've been thinkin' that your fun is all through now. But you can come along with me, `cause we gotta lotta things to do now, And we'll have fun, fun, fun, now that daddy took the T-Bird away. And we'll have fun, fun, fun, now that daddy took the T-Bird away.
