thumbs way up on the guitar riff.... and way down on the lead vocals, as per usual for MO

I know, despite my snark, I did appreciate PG's consistency as a curmudgeon.

And he was much more inventive than, say, Tex below, who is pathetically off-base about Peter Garrett. Garrett's now Minister of the Environment in Oz. Nothing contrived about that. And what have YOU done lately, Tex?!

Great band, great politics, powerful lyrics, and I like the song even though it's not one of my faves.

Great album, too, however Capricornia probably ranks behind Earth and Sun and Moon / Diesel and Dust / Blue Sky Mining in terms of its greatness.

Still you gotta admit, ol' Physicsgenius made quite an impression. Maybe an itching and burning impression, but still...

Cool intro riff. Country Joe & The Fish - Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine.

Contrived babble...I can't stand this guys voice either.

Yeah, charming like hemorrhoids.

BTW, what ever happened to Physics Genius? Anybody know?

One trick pony, these guys.

Just don't really dig Midnight Oil. But that's cool, because there is a good chance the next song will be something I like, and, who knows, maybe down the road I get introduced to a song by Midnight Oil that I like. That's what's so great about RP!

Ah, yes TheLoneIguana....you are beginning to walk in the path of The Master. But what is the lesson to be learned from the man who sings the virtue of politics?

Don't forget to donate to this great station! For every song you don't like there must be 100 you do. I think this is the best station out there myself.

What Moose is referring to is the line in Beds are Burning about giving the land back to indigenous people.

So, Australians of European and Asian descent should leave Australia and go back to where they came from, same for all those in North and South America, the Saxons should evacuate Great Britain, along with all those of Norman and Danish heritage, the Turks should leave for Mongolia, the list goes on and on and as far back as recorded time. And the indigenous people of any land aren't so indigenous if you go far enough back.

Pretty absurd, I'd say, and having nothing to do with human rights.
