Talk:Sun City (song)

Mention of artists who played Sun City in defiance of a UN boycott

Were they eventually mentioned in the lyrics? I don't think they were - in which case the suggestion to Van Zandt that they should be, if not taken up, isn't really notable is it? ElectricRay (talk) 13:45, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Someone should put a link to the YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjWENNe29qc so you can actually hear the song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.8.0.127 (talk) 08:59, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Recording date

The article says the song is recorded on January 28 1985. I guess this is not right, as it is the date that We are the world (also?) was recorded. As some artist cooperate in both projects, I guess this cannot be true. By the way, the single was released much later in the year. So I would guess they recorded this song in summer or early autumn. Does anyone have proper information about this? Clausule (talk) 00:46, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Half of American radio stations played the song?

The article currently says: Only about half of American radio stations played "Sun City" ...

I suspect it was much less than half. How many stations in the U.S. had formats such as country, easy listening, news, religious, and classical? Quite a few, but probably no stations in those formats would have played the song at all. Maybe only about half the stations that the single had been promoted to played the song -- but without a source, I don't know what the truth is. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:35, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
