Quincy Jones is planning a sequel to 1984’s “We Are the World”- it’s “We Are The Future,” an all-star concert set to take place in Rome on May 16. Apparently abandoning the earlier song’s USA Africa cause, the new concert will be in favor instead of a generic piece-and-love sort of message; Stevie Wonder, a holdover from the original, will be joined by Norah Jones, Jay-Z, LL Cool J, and others.
Somehow I get the hunch that the co-writer of “We Are the World,” Michael Jackson, won’t be invited.
