Great video

This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. Wonderful version of it, too.

Man, whatever happened to Midnight Oil? Are they still performing in the Land of Oz? Peace, out.....Goofyfoot.

Goofyfoot,

Midnight Oil called it a day just over four years ago.

Peter Garrett is cabinet minister in the current Oz government, with responsibilities for the arts and the environment. He was a bit of a loose cannon at the last election, suffering from foot-in-mouth syndrome, so they keep him on a tight leash and only wheel him out when they need his star aura. Despite the political gaffs, he strikes me as being way more competent than 95% of his colleagues, and their predecessors. Being intelligent, articulate and impassioned seems to be a handicap in his new chosen profession.

Given his reponsibilities, any Midnight Oil reunion is off the cards. Bummer!

Thanks ever so much for that Jeff! Midnight Oil... One of the highlights of the 80s.

Interestingly, last Thursday I was googling didgeridoo and came on links to make your own. Bookmarked. The guy in the video has great circle breathing technique.

This MO song has it all - driving beat, great melody, hooks, and of course the compelling message.

Hopefully, we will also be doing Now Or Neverland. This is from Earth and Sun and Moon. another great MO album.

Top band. I was lucky enough to see them on their final US tour. Jim Mogine is a brilliant player. He trotted this same Ric out in Cincinnati:


'Blue Sky Mine' and 'Earth, Sun, Moon' are (for me) their creative high water marks, but I enjoy all of their stuff.

A great theme for my current state of residence:

Pretty fat riff too!
