“Tuckers Daughter” is the worst abomination in musical history.

Anything by the Tin Lids runs a close second.

I don't have much time for Moss' solo stuff but as far as singing there is no comparison between him and Barnes.

Jimmy Barnes is and always has been awful. I'm a vegan and even I would've put that dying animal down in his prime.

Very excited to read this book. Helen Garner, one of our greatest writers (I think) spending a season watching her grandson’s footy team.

She’s never been afraid to swim against the tide. Loved her comments about the beautiful things that men and boys do; “toxic” masculinity doesn’t mean all masculinity is toxic.

Pre-ordered it straight away.

Have now read it. It's really lovely. Highly recommend it. Great Christmas gift.

Nice review here; doing a much better job of describing it than I could do:

At 82, literary legend Helen Garner just proved she can't be pigeon-holed

The acclaimed author of Monkey Grip and The Children's Bach is back: this time she turns her razor-sharp writer's eye to her 16-year-old grandson's footy team.

I've had a couple of weird, but nicely juxtaposed, thoughts recently;

Had a narrow escape with an angle-grinder the other day and I was thinking how nice it must have been, back when men were hunter-gatherers, not being exposed to the types of injuries that power tools can inflict.

A different perspective just now after viewing young Ned's X-ray (Academy thread). Imagine doing that while out chasing some beast for a fresh dinner and the suffering that would've meant for a hunter-gatherer.

Do you ever sit and think about something that is a part of your life pretty much every day but you really sit and give it serious thought and just think... "I can't believe something so great actually exists."

Had that thought about the Rolling Stones today.

Whenever a smug fun-buster moans about something being unhealthy (be it smoking, drinking, whatever) .... I just refer them to Keith Richard.

The conversation ends at that juncture.

He's every health campaign's worst nightmare.

My favourite thing about him is that in every live video of him performing on Youtube he's either the most wildly talented dude, or he's playing a guitar out of tune and is too fried to realise it. Never anything in between.

I point Ozzy Osbourne to them :)

Every morning when I look in the mirror
 
Recovering from a spider bite. Most likely a white tail got me. Freaking muggy weather is bringing out all sorts of critters

And don’t give up bedford, things will be okay :)
