I rode my bike to and from work today; I do this sometimes, even
though it is not easy. I am absolutely convinced that Midnight Oil,
among others, have helped me to have the resolve to do this.
I am feeling really lucky to have enjoyed Midnight Oil for the past 15
years.
I don't feel awful about Pete's departure, because he is moving on,
just like I move on in my life. My Midnight Oil fanaticism has waned
over the past several years, not through any fault of theirs, but
because I have become more bored with rock music.
Still, Capricornia got me excited about a rock album again only less
than a year ago. I now kind of view it as a last gift from Peter.
I am happy to move on from Midnight Oil, knowing that their impact on
me will always be there.
The end of the run is a sad thing, but not a bad thing for me, because
I have gained so much from their music. I am one of the lucky ones who
got into them at the right time ( I was a teenager when 10...1 and D&D
got big in the states), got to see them live, and had my fill.
Their influence on me can only be a positive thing. What more can I
ask for?
And I really hope they see this message, somehow.
