I'll Tell Ya What I Want, What I Really, Really Want
Two of my guiltier pleasure-type admissions are the two I am going to confess to now. One, I actually really enjoyed LiveAid, as Eighties as it was. And two, I used to not mind the Spice Girls so much, for pretty much the same reasons I willingly tolerate Britney Spears... only the Spice Girls had ten such reasons, and not just two. (And I feel slightly less guilty about that now, having seen Pete's similar confession over at A Perfectly Cromulent Blog -- although he is a Ginger Spice fan, while I am strongly partial to "Baby Spice" Emma Bunton.)
These two apparently unrelated sins against musical taste are in fact both connected and relevant today. That's because it's been revealed that the original Spice Girls are reuiniting just in time to play the upcoming Live Aid II concert in London.
Charity Band Aid said it hoped the chart-topping quintet would appear at a new Live Aid concert, aiming to repeat the success of the 1985 event which raised over $100 million for African famine relief.
My summer's getting better already.
