One of the pioneer lead singers of early Aussie Rock-Roll.
Sure was the band that set me in the direction of style I still love today.  :icon_thumright:

EMI has blocked that content in the US. Apparently, they don't want anybody to hear the bands they represent, for fear somebody might buy the music. That's how record labels here "help" the artist. Plus, if people were able to hear the music and decide they want to buy it, then the labels wouldn't be able to scream "PIRACY!" and get the laws changed to where they inevitably sell even less.

Ass holes.

Anyway, sorry to hear about your hero.

Have you ever noticed that actors and musicians are like the only people to die from:
liver cancer
cirrhosis of the liver
pancreatic cancer
pancreatitis

There are a few professions dealing in nasty chemicals like printing and plastics manufacturing where it spikes up too, but mainly, it's the people who have long stretches of no Wheaties and too much beer, not to mention scotch, bourbon, gin etc. It's not quite the same as getting hit by a truck, but it is sort of like playing in the road a lot.... so eat your Wheaties. No, not the ones with beer on them - that's for the drummer.... :icon_thumright:
