How did a famine in the 1980s spark a global movement, and what role did music and media play in this humanitarian effort? Join us as Merry and Cathy dive deep with filmmakers Chip Duncan and Salim Amin into their documentary, Stand Together as One: The Famine, The Music, The Impact.  Discover the untold stories behind iconic initiatives like the song "We Are the World", Band Aid and Live Aid, and explore the powerful legacy of Mohammed Amin, whose groundbreaking photojournalism changed the world. Chip and Salim reveal the behind-the-scenes challenges of their film, the ethical nuances of visual storytelling, and the enduring influence of compassion-driven journalism.  Get ready for an inspiring journey through history, art, and activism that underscores the importance of unity in tackling global issues. Tune in to reflect on your own potential to make a difference.Salim Amin's bio:From humble roots in a small shop in Dar es Salaam, Salim's father Mohamed Amin began Camerapix in 1963. With the instincts of a warrior and the heart of a leader, Mohamed Amin built Camerapix into a sustainable, world class organization covering news, features and producing documentaries with a variety of global networks including the BBC, NBC and Reuters. Today, Salim has continued that tradition by helping educate Africa's youth through the Mohamed Amin Foundation and as a founder of Africa 24 Media, a media platform that was dedicated to positive stories about the culture and history of Africa.Recognized in 2007 as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in Davos, Salim's leadership has been rewarded. Today, Camerapix works in collaboration with production partners throughout Africa, Britain, Europe, Asia and the United States. New African Magazine has recognized Salim as one of the top “100 Most Influential Africans” and has named Salim among their “Top 50 Under 50.” Salim was one of only 150 global leaders invited to President Obama's 2010 summit on Presidential Entrepreneurship in Washington DC.Salim's work as a producer includes the internationally acclaimed feature documentary Mo & Me, the One.org production of Revisiting Korem, and executive producing the award-winning documentary The Sound Man. As an on-camera host and producer, Salim achieved acclaim across the Continent for his production of more than 150 episodes of The Scoop, a weekly half hour series featuring Africa's foremost voices in art, culture and finance. At it's peak, The Scoop reached more than 300 million viewers weekly in broadcast and online viewership.Salim published his first book in 2019 titled KENYA: Through My Father's Eyes, a coffee-table book showcasing his father's unique images of Kenya. It is also the first historical book on Africa incorporating Augmented Reality with 12 videos embedded in the pages of the book.Since 2020 Salim has been documenting and preserving Kenya's history through interviews and features, and working on the construction of Kenya's largest history Museum. He refers to his work as a “conservation of history”.In 2024, together with production partner Chip Duncan, Salim co-produced the multi-award-winning documentary Stand Together As One: The Famine. The Music. The Impact to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the great Ethiopian Famine and We Are The World, Band Aid and Live Aid.Connect with Salim and Chip:Salim's Instagram: @salimcamerapixtvWebsite: https://artsandculture.google.com/pocketgallery/Thank you for listening.

In this episode, we explore the life and career of Kenney Jones, the legendary drummer who played a crucial role in shaping the sound of British rock music during the '60s and '70s. From his early days with The Small Faces, through the raucous years with The Faces, to his tenure with The Who, Jones's rhythmic prowess and adaptability made him a sought-after musician in the evolving rock landscape.Born in Whitechapel, London, Kenney Jones grew up immersed in the vibrant music scene of post-war Britain. Influenced by the burgeoning British Invasion, Jones was drawn to the energetic rhythms of bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, as well as the soulful sounds of American R&B. His early exposure to these genres laid the foundation for his distinctive drumming style, characterized by a blend of precision and flair.In 65, Jones co-founded The Small Faces alongside Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, and Jimmy Winston. The band quickly became emblematic of the Mod movement, delivering hits like "Itchycoo Park," "Tin Soldier," and "All or Nothing." Their music, a fusion of psychedelic rock and soulful melodies, resonated with a generation seeking a fresh, dynamic sound.Jones's drumming provided a solid backbone for the band's intricate arrangements. The Small Faces' influence extended beyond their music, impacting fashion and youth culture in '60s Britain.The departure of Steve Marriott in '69 marked a turning point for the band. The remaining members—Jones, Lane, and keyboardist Ian McLagan—joined forces with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood, both from the Jeff Beck Group, to form The Faces. The Faces quickly gained a reputation for their electrifying live performances and unpretentious style. Albums like "A Nod Is As Good As a Wink... to a Blind Horse" and "Ooh La La" captured their energetic spirit and musical prowess. Rod Stewart's simultaneous solo career, particularly the success of "Every Picture Tells a Story" and the hit single "Maggie May," brought additional attention to The Faces. However, this dual focus eventually led to tensions within the group.The Faces' blend of rock, soul, and blues, combined with their charismatic stage presence, earned them a devoted fan base. Tracks like "Stay with Me," "Cindy Incidentally," and "Ooh La La" became anthems of the era, showcasing the band's versatility and Jones's dynamic drumming.Despite their success, internal tensions and the members' individual pursuits led to the band's dissolution in '75. In '78, following the death of drummer Keith Moon, Jones was invited to join The Who. His tenure with the band included contributions to albums like Face Dances and It's Hard, as well as performances at significant events such as Live Aid in '85.While his drumming style differed from Moon's, Jones brought a steady, reliable rhythm to the band's music during a period of transition. His professionalism and experience were invaluable assets to The Who during this time.Beyond his musical endeavours, Jones authored an autobiography titled "Let the Good Times Roll: My Life in Small Faces, Faces, and The Who", providing an in-depth look at his life and career. Kenney Jones's contributions to music have been recognised with inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of both The Small Faces and The Faces. His influence continues to inspire musicians and fans alike, ensuring his legacy endures in the annals of music history.Join us as we delve into the remarkable journey of Kenney Jones, exploring his impact on British rock music and the enduring legacy of The Small Faces, The Faces, and The Who. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to his story, this episode offers a comprehensive look at one of rock's most influential drummers.#thesmallfaces #thefaces #thewho #britishinvasion

Eight days after the shambolic Live Aid reunion Jimmy Page joined Robert Plant onstage at the Brendan Byrne Arena, in East Rutherford, NJ. The contrast between the two gigs couldn't be greater. Robert's voice is virtually perfect and Jimmy's guitar (and Jimmy himself) are in tune. I play an aching beautiful Young Boy Blues from his then current Honeydrippers EP, and then I play the two encores Jimmy played with the band; the first being a standard blues number (I don't know if it has a name), and then a fiery run through of Treat Her Right, which calls back to when they jammed the same tune two years earlier. This is a great performance and a shining testimony to the viability of a Page/Plant collaboration even back then, when they sniped at each other in the press.

Is there anybody who doesn't know the name Bob Geldof? Along with the Sex Pistols and the Clash, Geldof and the Boomtown Rats are attributed with changing the face of music. A significant part is due to the Live Aid concert and Geldof's activism – which is part of the reason he's made his way to our shores. Geldof has a couple of dates lined up in New Zealand, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of Live Aid and the 50th anniversary of the Boomtown Rats. The show's called ‘An Evening with Bob Geldof: Songs and Stories from an Extraordinary Life', and it's a slightly different type of show than he normally performs. Geldof told Mike Hosking that it leans more theatrical, with visuals and songs accompanying the storytelling element. “It's not something I'd normally do,” he continued. “In the summer, as you said, the Rats are 50, we do all the big festivals and then we're talking off mic about, y'know, suddenly Bobby Boomtown's in the house." "The sagacious quiet person you're listening to right now becomes something else.” This show is set to be a bit less intense, Geldof jokingly warning people to bring a sleeping bag as the stories may go on for a while.

It's 2025, and somehow, We Are The World is about to turn 40 years old. Time is a cruel joke. This week and next we'll be taking a deep dive into one of the biggest charity singles ever recorded. You know the one—Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan looking completely lost, and a very questionable Cyndi Lauper fashion choice. We cover: How this song was written in 10 days and recorded in one night (because the American Music Awards made it convenient). The absolute chaos of the recording session, including Lionel Richie trying to stay awake, Prince ghosting everyone, and Stevie Wonder insisting on singing in Swahili. Michael Jackson's home studio, which included a chimpanzee, a Mynah bird that mimicked his voice, and a giant snake that terrified Lionel Richie. Why some artists hated the song, including Cyndi Lauper comparing it to a Pepsi commercial and Billy Joel thinking nobody actually liked it. What happened to the money, how We Are The World avoided Band Aid's mistakes, and why Live Aid overshadowed it in the end. We also attempt to answer some crucial questions:Would a song like this even work today?Why does Quincy Jones always have the best stories?Has Bob Dylan ever looked more uncomfortable? Timestamps & Highlights 00:00 – Intro & Banter: Vikings, language learning, and Michael Christen (who?).02:00 – Patreon Plug: Give us money, or at least send the pod to a mortal enemy.06:47 – How "We Are The World" Came Together: The American Music Awards gave them a deadline, and chaos followed.16:54 – Artists Who Hated It (or Rejected It): Prince, Madonna, and Billy Joel's existential crisis.27:20 – Michael Jackson's Bizarre Recording Habits: A chimp, a bird, and a snake walk into a studio…36:00 – The Chaotic Recording Session: Bob Dylan, Huey Lewis, and why Quincy Jones had to babysit 40 superstars.47:00 – Stevie Wonder's Swahili Suggestion: This actually happened.54:00 – What Happened to the Money?: How We Are The World handled charity better than Band Aid.1:06:30 – Live Aid & The Aftermath: How this song shaped charity singles forever.1:18:00 – Final Thoughts & Outro: The legacy of We Are The World, and who we'd put on a modern version.

In 1985, Phil Collins could do no wrong. His album No Jacket Required would eventually hit the top spot in the US and the UK. He'd also have the top album and top song on both sides of the Atlantic. He won a Grammy for Against All Odds (which would hit #1), his duet with Philip Bailey, Easy Lover, was a smash hit around the world and hit duet with Marilyn Martin, Separate Lives, would also go to #1. And after a world tour to support his 25 million selling album No Jacket Required, he played Live Aid in London with Sting and then jumped the Concorde to make it to the US and played RFK with Eric Clapton and a reunited Led Zeppelin. Plus he was on Miami Vice. The man was unstoppable. As No Jacket Required turns 40, we decided to analyze it track by track. Though Collins proved he could navigate the mid-80s recording styles without getting too cheesy on tracks like Sussudio and Inside Out, there are others that aren't great given the strength of the hits like Only You and I Know and I Don't Wanna Know. The album would sell over 12 million in the US alone thanks to hits like Sussudio and the video for Take Me Home not only gave him clout as a bonafide international star but also kept the album selling well into 1986. Phil has received a lot of backlash in latter days due to the fact that he was everywhere in the 80s - chart topping with every Genesis album, every solo record, every duet or movie soundtrack song, every tour, every TV appearance, every music video. Does he deserve the criticism he gets or did he just make the most of his opportunities he was given? We debate that and more on this surely to be divisive episode.

Bob Geldof is a musician, activist and one of the organizers of Live Aid, the massive 1985 benefit concert that raised millions for famine relief in Ethiopia. Some of the biggest artists and bands of all time came together for that concert — but how did Bob convince them all to give up their time for free on the same day? Ahead of the Toronto opening of “Just For One Day,” a new jukebox musical about Live Aid, Bob sits down with Tom Power to share some of the stories from behind the scenes of Live Aid, including how he got Queen to participate and why David Bowie insisted on the use of some CBC footage as the one condition of him playing.

Conflicted comes to the end of our Ethiopia series with an episode beginning at the fall of Emperor Haile Selassie in 1974, and charting the country's tumultuous course through the late 20th century. This was a time characterised by a brutality the country had not witnessed before, as the Communist military dictatorship, known as the Derg, wreaked havoc on the country. Ethiopia in the 70s and 80s was one dominated by horrifying episodes of mass death – from the Red Terror which engulfed the country in 1977 to 1978, to the terrible famine in the 1980s which caught the world's attention, birthing Live Aid and songs from Western Musicians to raise money, which would come to be so common (if later criticised) in the decades to come. It was also an era of Cold War intrigue, with Ethiopia thrust into wider geopolitical games involving the US and the USSR – even Cuba! – as well as warring with its neighbours and, eventually, with its own dictatorship.  Thomas and Aimen bring our discussion of the fascinating and fraught land of Ethiopia to a close with a tour de force, as they discuss all this and more, also setting up the context for the Tigray war which took place in Ethiopia in 2020 - 2022, with devastating consequences. And if you want to find out more about the Tigray War, we recently completed an episode for our Conflicted Community with journalist Martin Plaut, to explain the specifics of the conflict.
