The older I get, the more I appreciate pure unadulterated rock and roll like this. I liked it when this first came out, but I now I absolutely _love_ it.
I remember seeing Paul Kelly and the Coloured Girls when I was 16 at my local pub in Perth (I snuck in) and it was the best gig! It was 37 years ago!!! My 28 year old daughter has only just discovered him and she loves him! She's looking at a house to move into in Darlinghurst ATM, so I sent her this 💥🧡🎵🎶
If he wore a skirt and called himself Katy Perry, this song would be a World wide smash with 400 million + views. Just shows ..... pure raw talent only goes so far in show biz. But ... Thank God he's Aussie.
Driving across the harbour bridge after night shift off the Cahill up thru Darlinghurst across William St and the girls were always there on the corner mid winter in mini skirts 80's nightlife coming to a close.
Paul...ur "gossip" album is one of my favorite lps of all time!❤..."darling it hurts" was the first song I'd heard from u...I was hooked immediately on it and ran out and bought the album that day the year it came out...when I heard the rest of the album I was blown away and have been a fan ever since!!!...I've listened to this album once a month since it's release and never get tired of it!!!...top 20 album for me all time❤❤❤
In the 80s I lived on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. Every time I drove to Brisbane, I hoped he would be on the radio. That really made my day back then.
