JUST FOR ONE DAY by my friend @johnofarrell.bsky.social is the story of how Bob Geldof corralled the greatest musicians of a generation to help millions. It has everything a GenX heart like mine could want: humor, irony, nostalgia, optimism. Here’s hoping it transfers to NYC soon!

The Live Aid musical!
