I remember an interview about the Mandela concert where MK says something like he wasn't aware of how big it was until he read it next day, that he just ended the concert, went home, had a soup and got to bed.
which is bullshit, really, i mean, he stood there, in front of a sold out 90K+ crowd and did not realise this was a slightly bigger thing?
And of course his Clapton introduction mentioning JS's new babies - 'Just waited for this moment so that 600 million people could congratulate you for that'.
Of course he was aware....
I don't think he was really referring to the concert but to the impact the concert had in changing public opinion of Mandela. It was very much a landmark moment.
Exactly my thoughts!
Mark was always a bit uncomfortable with politics and charity in general. How did he put it, something like he liked to go about good works in a quiet way rather than with a blaze of publicity. Perhaps this is another case of self deprecation.
Great day, great memories...
