[閒聊] Hear 'n Aid
Ronnie James Dio逝世已經一周年,趁著今天有空寫一下他曾發起的一個活動Hear 'n Aid
1983～1985年非洲發生二十世紀最嚴重的飢荒，在1984年耶誕前夕，英國由 Ultravox
樂團的Midge Ure及Boomtown Rats樂團的Bob Geldof 合作寫了一首"Do They Know It's
Christmas"，並由當時英國最當紅的樂手組成了Band Aid 灌錄單曲，收益作為對衣索
匹亞貧民的食物與藥物供應。之後美國樂壇也不落人後，由Michael Jackson和 Lionel
Richie合寫"We Are the World"，並在1985年號召美國眾多當紅歌星在洛杉磯的錄音室
，灌錄We are the world這首單曲，單曲發行後短短數週便銷售百萬張，受到這股風氣
影響，金屬樂團Dio的主唱Ronnie James Dio受到上面兩個義唱活動的啟發，便決定集
合重金屬樂界辦一個類似的義唱活動，於是1985年5月20、21日，邀集40位重金屬樂界
的巨星聚集在Hollywood的A&M Records Studio，錄製了一首"Stars" (也可稱 We're
Stars)的單曲，而之後更集結多個樂團Live歌曲發行Star專輯。

看到25年前的影片，歲月流逝確實對人產生很明顯的變化，很多當年的勁帥模樣樂手
，如今幾乎都成了大叔，就如Rob Halford當年頂上還有頭髮，Yngwie還沒變肥，而
Ronnie James Dio已經蒙主寵召。看到多位重量級樂手的合作，你是否勾引起往事的
回憶呢。
