You Am I
I got to thinking what an atrocity it was that they never really got overseas. I got to thinking how Johnny Depp modeled himself on Keith Richards who modeled himself on Tim Rodgers to get in character for his role in Pirates Of The Caribbean.
Tim Rodgers. God Damn. He would have drunk all the rum from the Bahamas to Barbados and beaten the shit out of any peg-legged parrot-wearing bastard that looked his way.
I can safely assume most ‘stralyans will have these songs, so for our foreign friends:
Purple Sneakers
Please Don’t Ask Me To Smile
It’s no surprise that they’ve been the butter on Aussie sandwiches for the last 12 or so years.
Listening to the lyrics today I’ve realized something. Tim Rodgers may be the most undomesticated and excessive front man in Aussie Rock since Stevie Wright, but living deep inside him is a little boy that just wants to be loved. And living deep inside that little boy… Is another fuckin pirate!

And, cause I don’t want to give Tom the computer, here’s something else. From some gringo called Matt Costa (US).
It’s called ‘Whiskey and Wine’, but for some reason it makes me want to drink vodka and beer. And it takes me to a memory that time has warped, where Boris Yeltzin is wasted at a UN summit and doing his patented polka-bear dance.
Wearing lipstick and a garter belt.
see y'all tomorra night
