Jimmy Barnes was A lead singer of Cold Chisel. Early on in the piece his elder brother John Swan (aka Swannee) was also a lead vocalist of the band until his violent nature led to his dismissal.



And who was that guy who kept on stepping up to the mike whenever Prestwich got Barnsey to throw tantrums and storm out the door, vowing never to return again. Drawing a fucken blank here...

Ahhh yeah, good ol' Mossy. Killer song that, best they ever did.

To answer an earlier question, there are certain sectors of the American music industry that are familiar with a few of the names mentioned here. I know this because I am fucking amazing when it comes to paying attention to such matters.



In the case of John Farnham, he was lucky enough to snag a lead vocal slot for three Little River Band albums in between Time Exposure (1981) and Monsoon (1988). Well, I say "lucky", that band was never quite the same after Shorrock and Briggs were kicked out, but with Farnham at center stage LRB would go on to release a string of singles in the US market, only three of which would crack the top 40 there.

Most didn't even chart.



Barnsey... well, all of Cold Chisel in fact... enjoyed a level of infamy among record execs in both the US and Australia for not bending over and taking it up the arse. Quite the opposite in fact. After telling industry heads in Australia to jam their onerous contracts sideways up the sphincters of various A&R men, Chisel went on to make a name for themselves purely off the sweat of their own backs, tearing the roofs off Blue Light Discos and prisons alike. All with virtually no promotion whatsoever from the mainstream music industry, they carved their place out as one of the premier live acts in Australia, until dickheads like Ian "Molly" Meldrum were forced to talk about this great "new" band to a record buying public who already well knew who they were anyway. Embarrassing! Ultimately they were courted to go to the US, where they were again invited to bend over in return for fame and... well fame at least. The results were predictable, Capitol Records in particular were quite incensed at the reaction and Chisel returned to their faithful fans on familiar shores.



As for Guy Sebastian... bother me not with that wog. Anyone who comes to prominence off the back of appearing on karaoke shows like Australia's Got Talent has assuredly grabbed their ankles on more than a few occasions, especially in a place like Terra Cacktarsis.

That youtuber in my first post is an entertainer of some sort in the USA..  HE is very interesting to watch... I hope people take the time to watch those vids.



He has acknowledged some posts I have made to him...which is good.



Our market is saturated with music..  I cannot keep up with everything... what we need is good song writers... that is what the world really needs.  I only listen to the best of the best...



I wished they'd do an Australian Idol type show featuring song writers. THAT is what I would watch.

I remember now, it was this song that made me think Jimmy Barnes was once a member of INXS.

And I cannot stand Glen Shorrick or whatever his fucking ugly arse name was or maybe I am getting him mixed up with Daryl Braithwaite, yes, I am thinking I am mixing them up...I loved Skyhooks, Squeak ... John Paul Young,  John English, Collen Hewett voice,  and the Aussie circuit....but really, who was better than the bloody Bee Gees early stuff....?



  I had a double album of live pub performanes of John English, I lost it in my house fire. I reckon that would be worth a small fortune now...



 I agree with the black dude in ThatSingerReactions... He likes what I like..



I think I go for Folk, Rock and classical and really don't know which is first.... I know what I hate, jazz and rap... Although I can enjoy a jazz or rap song ...as long as its only one track.
