I feel another Oils frenzy coming on. Every year or two I just go back and run through every album, single and concert to relive the power and unique talent represented in this awesome Aussie band. Hell, or I could just watch Peter Garrett dance all day and night. He's a totally unique character and watching him swing his super long spindly arms around is classic. Paint him blue and stick him on Pandora and we have Avatar.

Peter Garret , what a hypocrite , the lead singer of Midnight Oil , whose ideologies made him join the Green Party which he abandoned for The Labor Party & ended up in the Federal Government of Australia as Minister for the Environment . Where he was completely incompetant and his actions in the " Pink Batt fiasco " killed many young men which he never apologised, plus resulted in other disasters imposed upon the people of Australia. He did more harm than good . He should have stuck to being a Rock Star .

Long before the far-right embedded the culture war into weak minds that made them overreact to anything vaguely political that didn't directly align with their agenda. Midnight Oil went nearly 40 years accepted as a strong voice for a moral message, now the brainworms have cooked people's heads from the inside and they'll shriek about how they're 'woke' and 'snowflakes'. Midnight Oil didn't change, the whiners did. And they'll yell at me now for this post.

41 years ago I saw Midnight Oil at The Royal Antler Narrabeen. I have to thank the boys from The Strand house at Dee Why for taking me to the gig. It was late 1979, a warm night, people pouring jugs of iced water on each other and Peter Garrett's head, steam coming from the Lead Singer's bald cranium. Their music and especially their lyrics have made THE OILS one of the most important Rock bands in history. This new song ' Gadigal Land' is an instant Oils Classic. Words cannot describe how much I love this track. Sydney Radio station MMM played it every hour yesterday, so credit to them for that. Before they played it the first time I was thinking " oh, I hope it's good " I loved it from the opening chords, the thumping Drums, the throbbing Bass and Garrett's vocals delivering every word that is punching the Colonial invaders in the face. Well done boys, this is excellent!
