OT: Dead hard rockers week

Bonita Mabo

Up there with the greatest indigenous people of all time.
Kept her husbands fight going long after he’d gone.
She was an absolute champion for her people in her own right.

I hope others like her will follow it on.

Pass the Butter !!!

The Director of The Last Tango In Paris has fallen off the perch.

yep, Bernardo Bertolucci, I much preferred his Italian epic 1900, which starred Donald Sutherland, about the rise of facism in Italy and a family soap opera set over that time.

Last Tango bored me shytless, though I'll credit it as being the first movie where i saw someone going to the toilet, Maria Schneider.

RIP John Power, fellow bass player, best known for his work with The Foreday Riders, Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons and The Hippos. He passed away yesterday, heart attack.

Here's a sample of The Hippos, fine R & B band they were. Used to see them regularly at the Bridge Hotel in Rozelle in the late 80s.

I think I saw the hippos once
I remember another blues band that used to kick around Bondi cigars
They were pretty good too.

Oh

I don’t like blues much but for some reason those two bands did it very cool.

Jim moginie is so under rated.
The bloke can walk around anywhere unnoticed.
Yet he was responsible for some of the most iconic guitar riffs to ever come out of Australia.
I bloody love him.

I reckon I’d piss my pants if I met him.

To quote Rob Hirst:
"No Jim Moginie, no Midnight Oil"
He's a genuine nice guy. I recently organised a benefit gig for a good mate of mine, and others on here. I asked Jim if he had anything he could contribute to the raffles, the next week I was in the Olis management office picking up a fully signed poster.
He's pretty shy, best if you don't meet him while you're drunk, you'll scare him!

Him and rotsey do this bounce off each other thing
They take turns to hit a chord in 4 4 time.
Eg Jim 1 and 3
Rotsey 2 and 4
It’s actually a lot harder to do than it sounds.

My first band were complete Oils whores
Me and the other guitarist usd to mimic that technique ha ha
We were hilarious
I used to try and copy Rotseys stage moves
Hahaha
Jim didn’t even move back then.

I know he plays in an Irish folks thing occasionally.
Plus the dog gig he’s currently on.

Kid I used to be best mates with in primary school actually went on to be a producer and works at JJJ he did Jim’s old band fuzz face.

Glad he’s not dead .

Keith Richards !!! ... Keith Richards !!! ... Keith Richards !!!
No he is not dead yet, but I just read from a half reliable source that Keef has just announced that he has given up alcohol.

This could only mean one thing. Keef is now on a health kick.

Keith Richards hasn’t had a drink since Christmas. The legendary hard-living rock ‘n’ roll icon sounds almost reluctant to admit to sobriety. “I’m not saying I’m definitely off all of this stuff,” he protests. “In six months’ time, I might be on it again. But at the moment, for a couple of months, I haven’t touched it.” When I ask how he is finding abstinence, he chuckles ruefully. “It’s novel.”

The 74-year-old Rolling Stone still smokes incessantly and speaks as if his vocal cords are coated in thick layers of fur, but he insists that cigarettes and coffee are the only real vices he has left. He is impressively disdainful of the prescription drugs rife among a younger generation, such as Xanax and Percocet. “Drugs are not interesting these days. They are very institutionalised and bland. And anyway, I’ve done ’em all.”
