Ain't Gonna Play

One of my must-read music blogs, Popdose, took on United Artists Against Apartheit and the 1985 hit “Sun City” today. Full of loads of fun and interesting facts that I never knew despite spinning it quite often while behind the college turntables.

– Two of the verses feature rappers, a full six months before Run-DMC and Aerosmith would drop their game-changing collaboration.

– Daryl Hall turned down $2 million to play there

Check out the Artists United Against Apartheid – Sun City (12″ mix) and Artists United Against Apartheid – Not So Far Away (Dub mix) the watch the VH-1 Pop-Up video version while you are at it.
