E57 Do They Know It's CHRISTMAS VACATION?

Join me, as we wander through the echoes of the 1980s and revisit "Do They Know It's Christmas" by Band-Aid. We reminisce about this iconic charity single that, despite limited US airplay, became a hallmark of Christmas for many. We touch on the powerhouse lineup that included Bono, Sting, and Phil Collins, and explore why this heartfelt anthem still resonates today, alongside timeless holiday films like "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."

I can't get enough of 'Christmas Vacation', with Clark Griswold, the Christmas tree, Cousin Eddie, Snots the dog, Margo the next-door neighbor and of course Aunt Bethany.

As we journey through musical history, we look back at 'Beatles 65' and a salute to The Clash's game-changing album "London Calling" on its 45th anniversary. Discover the backstory of The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" and unravel the enigma of Yes's "Leave It" music video. 

"Music in My Shoes" where music and memories intertwine.
