What happens when the most famous musicians in the world come together to save humanity…and Bob Dylan almost chickens out?
In this week’s episode, Charles & Lisa dive into the chaotic recording of the 1985 charity anthem that almost didn’t happen. You’ll hear the tale of a mumbling legend paralyzed with stage fright, Lionel Ritchie trying to channel Gandhi while wrangling divas, and Quincy Jones transforming into a benevolent dictator.
It’s the feel-good disaster of the decade, told with just the right amount of snark. Don’t miss We Are The World…Barely – the podcast episode that proves saving the planet is easy…if you can survive the egos! [EP 65]
