♬ cold cold change, we were so excited / waiting on the outside, waiting to begin / left us all angry and bewildered / laughing at the way we were taken in ♬

Back to something vaguely sane, and an Old Simon Mayo Record of the Week.
"Beds are burning" - Midnight Oil
The singer is in the outback, wears a big hat to keep the sun off; the rest of the band are performing in the back of a jeep while it's driving at a frightning pace. The song pulls no punches in its pursuit of justice for the Aboriginal people.
Lead singer Peter Garrett would become an MP and cabinet minister down under.

'In late January Rob Hirst from Midnight Oil died. He was a friend to many of us. Great songwriter, awesome drummer and one of life’s true gentleman. To honour him we decided to put Midnight Oil’s Dead Heart in our set for a while with Jess Hitchcock taking the lead vocal.' Paul Kelly has put up a live Werribee performance of Dead Heart on his YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr0PQRPXw1w #PaulKelly #RobHirst #DeadHeart #MidnightOil

Honour to Rob Hirst whose songs will live on as he flies off to the great gig in the sky.
We will never give in, never give up in our resistance against the vicious colonisers with their hideous blue sky mines.

Fuck! Rob Hirst has died. Midnight Oil was my first musical obsession, and I started playing drums because of him. Got my first kit Xmas 1986, and I could play one pattern. A week later I could play everything on Head Injuries beat for beat. Thanks Rob, you basically taught me how to play.

A sad day for Australian music. Rob Hirst, the powerhouse drummer and songwriter for Midnight Oil, has died. His relentless, driving beats were the engine room for some of the most powerful and politically charged rock anthems ever written. A true legend.
