OK yes I agree that Mick would work well. Here are a few others that I =
think would work even better:

Mark Cuffe (Spies and also The Shock Poets - very good lyrics!) Anyone =
know what happened to him?

Dave Gleeson from The Screaming Jets

Craig Bloxom of Spy V Spy

  Hey, Aussies, how about this for an off the wall choice to replace PG =
if he ever left Oil?  Michael Thomas (Mick Thomas to most) of Weddings =
Parties Anything.  Don't just scoff; think about his broadly Australian =
accent, his love of Oil, his left-leaning politics, and his GREAT =
songwriting ability.  I could definitely hear him pulling off the more =
"strummy" material from "Diesel" and "Capricornia."  I would love to =
hear Mick play with the Oils in some fashion.  Maybe they could bring =
him and his band The Sure Thing along to open a US tour someday.  WPA =
never played the US, to my knowledge; one of my great musical =
disappointments is that I never got to see the great WPA.  If you're not =
familiar with them, order their double live CD, "They Were Better Live" =
from whammo; it's the ideal introduction.  I reckon they're the best =
unknown band ever.

  Bill Wolfe
