Could this guy be any more embarrassing?
And I say this as someone who tends towards the conservative side of politics.

He's just getting warmed up.

He's just getting warmed up.

In a perverse way, I hope he does get worse. At least then we'll be rid of him sooner.

He's working on material for part 2.

Melanie? Brand New Key? Look what they've done to my song? .....

Stories with both of those. Brand New Key was written as a slow, smoky Blues/Jazz song and she played a bit to show us. Apparently her husband reckoned it had pop-hit potential and she talked of the production tricks and re-arranging that came up with the boppy final product. Good humorous story. Appropriate then that she also had a huge hit with Look What They've Done To My Song which ironically has had its lyrics slightly altered to be used in at least 4 advertisements that she played us bits of.

O Canadia, we stand on guard for thee

To be fair they can't have it both ways.

If it's Canada they must be Canadans. Canadia = Canadians.

Good job calling out the half frog half wits PM.

I salute you.

She has a glorious voice. Would be a great double act with Don McLean.

I was at a function last year and Tom Gleeson was MC.

Unfunny ****ing idiot. He was at a NUW function bagging **** out of Abbott and even the hard core union people were uncomfortable at how unfunny and pathetic he was. I did find it amusing that he couldn't start a sentence without reminding the room Labor had recently lost a federal election.

Dickhead.

Perhaps I should have cropped the name

The voice is well past its best but she (Melanie Safka) discussed that and would brush past troublesome bits. She can still let rip but it was the story-telling mixed in that made it such a good show. We saw Russell Morris/Brian Cadd last year and it was the same mix of stories and music that was great. This from people you'd never go to see purely as a music concert any more, they are just too old for that. Thumbs up to Kate Cebrano as Director of the Cabaret Festival, seems to have been her idea to do this stuff.

Perhaps.

He is a filthy ranga too.

Good stand-up at the Fringe Festival before last. But you have to match your material to your audience.

Meatloaf should try that approach.

The stories behind the songs and albums can be incredible, the Eagle Rock series of Classic Albums was great viewing. Funnily enough Bat Out of Hell was a memorable story.

everyone love a dallas cowgirl.......

LeBron > Jordan.

**** off. LeBron isn't fit enough to breathe the same air as Jordan. Jordan stayed with the Bulls when they were shit and helped build a team around him. LeBron punked out like a pussy and went with his friend Dwyane Wade because it was all too hard.

Jordan would wipe the floor with LeBron's soft candy ass.

Why do you think I'm heading to Dallas tomorrow?

Yuck. No.

I've heard of these songs, yes...but who sang them was not of interest to me. My interest in Woodstock et al, extends only to incidents like Hendrix burning his guitar and Star Spangled Banner...when rock outed flower power pop on stage, plus I was about 5 years old
