This is my birthday

The video shows CAUCASIAN singer George Michael performing at the LIVE AID concert to benefit starving BLACK famine victims in Africa. People who took issue with mega-star Michael Jackson's disassociation from his race have one more bone to pick. Jackson--then at the height of his popularity--did not participate in LIVE AID. Jackson died 8,748 days (23 yrs., 11 mos. & 12 days) later on George Michael's 46th birthday or JUNE 25, 2009. Caucasian performer Phil Collins also gets A+ for LIVE AID

David WAYNE Spade + KIT De LUCA could remind of famed horse trainer DARRELL WAYNE luKas, but not a ROWEr. But this is unrelated to Shane Battier attending DERBY Middle School (at 1300 DERBY Rd.), though the schools name could remind of the first leg of U.S. thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown, the KENtuckY DERBY. George Michael's WHAM! partner, Andrew John RIDGEley (b. 1/26/63) is not confessed Green RIVER serial killer GARY LEOn RIDGEWAY, who never visited RIDGEWAY in Fairfield County, SC

David WAYNE Spade was born July 22, 1964 in BIRMINGHAM, Michigan--also the birthplace of NBA / DUKE University (DurHAM, NC) basketball player Shane Courtney Battier (b. 9/9/78). Battier playing home games for DUKE at CAMERON Indoor Stadium is unrelated to Laura San GIAcomo being married to CAMERON Dye or DYE relating to "Oreo / Race Illusion" themes. Also unrelated: Disgraced San Diego area congressman, Randy DUKE CunningHAM (b. Randall HAROLD CunningHAM on 12/8/41) serving time at FCI Butner

GARRY MARSHALL (not the CONCERNED citizen advocate or the Jersey boy OR Newark, NJ director of police GARRY MCcARTHY) directed "Pretty Woman". David WAYNE Spade also starred as C.J. BARNES, along with JAMES Garner on "8 SIMPLE RULES". He currently plays RUSSELL DunBAR on the CBS sitcom "RULES of Engagement". Unrelated: U.S. Capitol shooter RUSSEL WESTon's incarceration at the federal facility in BUTNER, Granville Co. (adjacent to FRANKlin Co.), NC, which is also home to the town of CREEDmoor

San GIAcomo's character, MAYA GALLo only needs "N" for the MAYAN GALLo of "time rollback" with their calendar ending on 12/21/12 (which is kind of a PALINdrome) bolstering "repetition" angles. San GIAcomo as KIT De LUCA could remind of "time rollback" to 1985, when NBC's "KNIGHT Rider" featured William DaniEls, the voice of K.I.T.T. and many had LUCAS (not "Star Wars" George) for a teacher. David WAYNE Spade + KIT De LUCA could remind of famed horse trainer DARRELL WAYNE luKas, but not a ROWer

George Michael's YELLOW shirt + his being born in EAST FINCHley, London, is unrelated to any number of YELLOW Reed-FINCHy automobiles on U.S. highways starting about 2,249 days (6 Yrs, 1 Mo. & 27 Days) later or the REEDs being used onstage by musicians blowing into woodwind instruments that day. Also unrelated, actor / comedian David SPADE, who was DENNIS FINCH on the NBC sitcom "Just Shoot Me", which starred Laura San GIAcomo as MAYA GALLo, who was KIT De LUCA in the 1990 film "Pretty Woman"

[GWhiz99]

I couldn't help but notice: At the :21 second mark, it certainly appears to be George Michael of WHAM! & later, solo recording hit-making fame, in a bright YELLOW shirt, on stage at 1985's LIVE AID concert. Considering the YELLOW shirt and recurring "It's known in totality" themes, it could be worth noting that Michael was born Georgios-Kyriacos Panayiotou on JUNE 25, 1963 in East FINCHley, North London.
