In memory of "Digger Derrick" a former school teacher and butterfly collector whom came from Adelaide Australia, enlisted during WW2 and fought with the Diggers against the Japanese in New Guinea where in the Owen Stanley Ranges he scaled cliffs with his bare hands and in a 24 hr period took out 8 seperate Japanese machine gun nests, a record for any period in the Pacific war. God Bless The Diggers❤❤
In memory of Tony O Sullivan and every Australian vet who served 4 tours of Vietnam and over 23 years imprisonment and escaped twice and was the only prisoner in Australian history to donate his pension to the Barnados Child Orphans . God Bless Tony and fuk your wars.
Very well said. And let's not forget Rowland S. Howard's part back in their Birthday Party days... Poor Rowland, such a musical genius and yet so underrated.
Wow, I didn't know Mick Harvey sang that part, I thought she'd hired an Irishman along the likes of somebody from The Chiefftans. A great compliment to M. Harvey, as his voice is so fortifying.
This record demonstrates that all that genius attributed to Nick Cave back in the day was Mick Harvey all along. As Cave descends further and further into self parody, Mick's still making the music that matters.
I thought Push the Sky Away was terrific. Didn't get that much into Skeleton Tree apart from Magneto though... but hardly self-parody. Mick's last release Intoxicated Women is terrific too.
I don't necessarily disagree about the self-parody bit, but no. I really think they are different but equally good. Rowland's solo shit however massacres them both.....
@@andrewmcdonnell826 Not so, unfortunately. A decade ago, I heard a radio interview where Harvey was in tears talking about how shabbily Nick treated him towards the end, and how hurt he was by that, after all their years of working together. He left because Cave is a prick.
