My wife and mother-in-law were on the Concorde with Phil Collins as he flew from London to New York so that he could play in both concerts. My wife thought it was cool, my mother-in-law thought it was all stupid.

But how long has it been since "Hands across America"? I cannot even remember what that was supposed to raise our consciousness about, it obviously didn't work.

I remember Hands Across America well. It was in Spring 1986. I was in the Fourth Grade and we all went into the school yard to join hands. At the time, I thought it was SOOOOOOO GAAAYYYY!!!

1986, "Hands Across America" was about helping the homeless. I know someone elsem ight have responded but I haven't rad down the list so I will not prejudice my replies. BTW, I have one of my eight cats on my lap as I type this, speaking of the 1980's, I had her since 1989 and I have another one I have since 1987. B-)
