Say Goodbye

What is it with you guys? We leave the country for a few months and you let some stellar people slip through your fingers. While I wasn't a fan of his TV show, and I can tell you I'm in the minority over here in North America, Steve Irwin was as far as I can tell a pretty decent bloke and dedicated environmentalist (despite what that nut-bag Germaine Greer and her jaw that flaps in the wind might say). You have to feel for his wife and kids... Then Brocky totals himself in the Targa in WA, com'on ppl what are you doing all day? Take better care of our tall poppies will you please? Cheers Brocky, you were an ornament to your sport. At least both those boys went out doing what they loved, if only a little earlier than we'd all have liked, cheers fellas.

On a different note another Aussie has been making the Canadian news, Toby Rand pub singer from Melbourne, contender for the lead singer of SuperNova. Jo and I didn't watch the series from the start and got into it very late. But thanks to Bit Torrent we've caught up and are now eagerly awaiting the final shows this coming week. Everyone is tipping Toby to take it from the media-un-savvy Dilana, dark and brooding Lukas and cool but boring chrome dome Magni. You've just gotta love this version of Rebel Yell, check it out on YouTube below.



Andy, out.
