Goldtruck, that would be Johnny O'Keefe, if I'm not mistaken.

Damn, answered from over the page, and just noticed that I was beaten to it!

 

[goldtruck59]

Paydirt you are correct. Dr Duck I thought it would be easy for an old karaoke singer like yourself !! Ur a bit slow mate.
RIP JOK
What a legend !!!
Over to you Paydirt.

 

[DrDuck]

Knew it as soon as I saw the clue, GT, but had been distracted by other things, like work, and did not see it early enough! Saw him in concert when he was preparing for the comeback tour in 1974. Actually he was at school with my dad, who was also in the entertainment industry in the 60's/

 

[Paydirt]

Sorry fellas forgot I'd posted.
here goes
I've passionately entertained the masses and was given the power to represented them. I've championed the environment, mining in the atmosphere and the indigenous people. I'm a big unit, king of the mountain. I wasn't real big on the policies of our allies

 

[Harmpit]

is he bald lol, forget his name from Midnight oil?

 

[Paydirt]

Done - Peter Garrett, bloody brilliant in concert, kiddies these days know nuthing about good rock and moshpits. huh you say something - source of my industrial/selective deafness from standing/dancing as close as to the speaker stacks

 

[Harmpit]

here goes for me
a place
Bono didnt write or sing it

 

[Paydirt]

Giant steps are what you take.....

 

[Paydirt]

Doh, wong band.

 

[Harmpit]

lol, wrong band. Its a song from an album that was eagerly anticipated at the time, but lost me as a fan. Hated it

 

[DrDuck]

It would be the song Van Diemen's Land off U2's Rattle and Hum album?

I quite like Russell Morris' song and album of the same name, not the same one though.

Good question.

 

[Harmpit]

done lol, it was actually hard to think of a question.

 

[DrDuck]

Yep, it is hard to defeat Professor Google!

I'll have to think of another one, maybe keeping to recent themes of Australian science or music.

 

[Tathradj]

Or Rivers. LOL

 

[DrDuck]

Sorry, I'm going to be distracted for a couple of days, maybe Paydirt or someone could take it to keep the thread moving.
