I'm still not convinced he won't take the stage again. If the Oils are
magnetic for us, imagine the power it has over these 5 guys. How could
he possibly resist picking up the microphone just one more time, and one
more time again...?
And at worst, nothing in this world would make me happier than to see
Peter Garrett as Prime Minister of Australia. I used to graffiti that
on the walls of train station toilets when I was young. Maybe the dream
will become reality.
Go well Pete.
Andrew (in Melbourne)

Subject: [Powderworks] Times are tough!
The Oils have been a huge part of my life since 10, 9, 8, which came out
when I was at High School in Melbourne. After I bought Head Injuries,
they were the only band I have ever been interested in.
Their music has punctuated my life- driving from Melbourne to
Noosa-Koala Sprint; riding my motorbike across the Nullarbor- all of
Diesel & Dust; my wedding- Warakurna live; So many memories.
I have seen them in Melbourne, Geelong, Newcastle, Canberra, Sydney,
Fremantle. The Newcastle Earthquake benefit gig (1990?), when Peter said
" We've never played this song live before", then they launched into
Blue Sky Mine.
More than all that, though, their music has really been a major part of
who I am today. I studied Aboriginal Histories at the Uni of Western
Australia, did a degree in Politics, support Greenpeace & the Australian
Conservation Foundation, all really because the Oils' music made me
think & question. Who can stand in the way; Gough was tough; they're the
worst generals of all you know. Now I'm doing all I can to make sure
this revolting PM of ours goes & we can start to get the country back on
track. PG-"I have no time for Mr Howard or his policies". Hear, hear!
Five against the world are now 4 (The Goat Island Quartet?). It won't be
the Oils, but let's see where they take us. Senator Peter Garrett
holding the balance of power- I'd like to see that!
I was lucky enough to go backstage at the recent Melb Forum gig night 2-
Thanks Krusty!-so the last word should go to Jim "Keep on fighting the
good fight".
Thanks.
