I'm going straight the the beauty of the ambiguous English
language.
Yes! It was "Midnight Oil's Last Stand"!
Chronologically speaking. This morning's breakfast was my "last
breakfast" (chronologically) ... and that there was my "last breath", now
*that* one was, now *that* one ....
Last stand indeed.
Did you
see the last episode of Dr Who? When was the last full moon?
I'm
not even going to engage in the challenge that the author of the errant phrase
invented the phrase as much as they invented the phenomenon.
Twaddle.
Now did you know that it has been researched that reiterating
a phrase in the negative subliminally reinforces the thought that the item is
positive (by means of repetition, not by means of
suspicion)? "I did not have sex with that woman" repeated many
times strongly reinforces a lasting impression to the contrary, even if the
audience knows no other facts about the case. (The most uninformed
audience will recant: "Oh, yeah ... he had sex with that woman, didn't he ...
?" People only remember the *issue* not the
*negation*.)

The interviews that I just read with PG feel very hopeful in that
regard. He came right out and said that they are keeping the
option open to do this type of thing again in the future, albeit not
right away or very often; but "Last Stand" was never mentioned that I
saw.

I remember Cold Chisel having a "Last Stand", but not Midnight

I think they've deliberately not shut the door in either
direction. It's
possible there may be more, but on the other hand
there may not
be.
