I love Rolf really, despite what I may sometimes say, I mean how many times have we all used the line....'can you tell what it is yet?' We owe him. And, what, I never knew the Seekers were Australian, what about the new Seekers, maybe they were Kiwi's? or not?

I think the New Seekers worked the same as Little River Band or what happened to John Fogarty. Someone from the band takes the name and continues on with it, till the originals wanna play again, then the fisty cuffs begin. But that's not gospel coz everybody knows I have no clue.

This is my favorite Rolf song. My gran used to sing it to me when I was a kid.
I know it's not his song but I still love his version of it.

What's V-Fest? I don't think I've heard of it.

Pumpkins and QOTSA on the same bill would be well worth $136 I reckon!

Ah! Well that would probably put me off it too!
But then BDO has left a lot to be desired of recent years and Fall's has become this great money making venture, so I'm not sure we'll ever enjoy festivals the way we used to anymore.

Be worth it if it's gonna be all them AND Duran Duran. But I'm not adding an airfare onto the ticket price just to go. I'm a bit over all that now days anyway.

It sounds like your V fest is gonna be better than ours. Ours is like top of the pops in a field.
