Not such a good x-mas present

Sounded a lot like the song I found, couldn't understand a word of it.
Those teenagers seemed to like it though....
was he queer too, or just acted that way as part of his stage act?
never heard of him or midnight oil, now I know why...
Thanks for letting me know I didn't miss nothin'...
like I said earlier, you aussie boys got strange taste in music..

Skip ... in Australia if you could dance like Peter Garrett the chicks would have been all over you , true. Gota remember that around the same time in other countries you had some really gay faggety Twisted Sister/ Boy George/ Depece Mode-type bands babbling on.... we thought Garrett was pretty f#ckin cool compared to them !!

Gotta agree at the time they sure were different. Bird Noises (EP) was pretty good. So was Head Injuries. 1979/1980.

Just got in from our Christmas trip and saw this.

Stay strong, (I already know you will)!
Mindy and I will see You and TOW soon.
You are in our prayers!

WTF Midnight Oil is the best band to ever come out of that wee island next thing you will be telling me you do not like the sex pistols, sham69 or the starnglers

These guys had more than a few good tunes back in the day:

Little River Band. It's A Long Way There. Australian Road Trip Part 2 - YouTube

Wishing you happy and, most importantly, a healthy New Year, Fred! You have some challenges facing you, but I'm willing to wager that things will look much better this time next year.

Thanks Phil, and all the rest of you fine people. Some people think online friendships are fake or contrived. I choose to think that if we lived near enough to each other, or our paths crossed in some manner, that we would probably would have become "real" friends. I make no distinction between the two. I care about people on here and it's nice to know you care about me. Maybe the modern world isn't so f..cked up after all. Thanks again for all your support. Let the battle begin.
