Photography, music, politics, sport, wine, our ABC. Sydney Inner Westie leftie and all that goes along with that.

@noplaceforsheep Oh goody, the street closure and outdoor DJ at Norton St pub blasting the neighbourhood is protected. Surely the shops could post a bloke in khaki holding a trumpet at the entrance and we'd be OK. It seems to work at the footy?

@SimonChapman6 Losing time to one drummer is a misfortune but losing time to two seems careless :-) Awful mix - a wall of barely distinguishable mush in our seats. A shame, we left early.

@DavidJonesStore Please turn off the 20odd speakers blasting noise into Market and Elizabeth Sts. There’s enough pointless noise interrupting our lives already!! Thanks

[Tony Egan @agegan]

@iDGiam I'm tempted to say love it or leave it, but that slogan is already owned by the xenophobes, racists and bigots... :-)

@SassyWikipedia @stuartrobertmp Those who help themselves (to the public purse) attribute that to the help of "god", so it's irreproachable, right!? He and Morrison have that poisoned philosophy framed perfectly.

@BernardZuel I still play my Carson LP occasionally. There are some moments in music that define a certain performer for me. On the song Better Times Will Come About when he first moves up an octave on the Better Times refrain. Power, control, emotion. Best of '70s heavy Aust. blues. Vale

@davegraney Never understood the pejorative "yacht rock" criticism. My response is Only a Fool Would Say that! Crank up Night by Night, rock boys.

[Tony Egan @agegan]

@davegraney Thanks for the tip. My knowledge mostly limited to a few Countdown memories. Here's to living a courageous, creative life. Perfect for a dull, showery, Sydney Sunday morning.

@BernardZuel Because Vienna was Calling?

[Tony Egan @agegan]

@FleStitch Sure, happy to share info I have

[Tony Egan @agegan]

@PhillipAdams_1 Are we being a little harsh? It was probably one of those tacky 'P' parties I recall were popular in the '80s. He was simply going as a famous Politican! :-) Here is me in 1985 going as one of the good guys...

@MikeCarlton01 The "highest ranking catholic" tag is surely misleading? Mary MacKillop is a saint! Doesn't saint trump a ladder-climbing pharisee, desperate to protect himself and the church's money and reputation? I'd nominate an ex-communicated, female, servant of the poor as #1 any day!

[Tony Egan @agegan]

@BernardZuel Emmy Lou does a fair cover of that one but doesn't quite capture the "world is breaking my heart" vibe Ron does so well

[Tony Egan @agegan]

@MikeCarlton01 Decades of progressive influence on laws and social norms meant Jones wasn't gaoled for his London toilet trawling. RWNJs often hurl this charge at the left, but he is an exemplary self-hater.

@RichardAOB An empty taxi drew up and Dimitry got out. So many words with so little meaning. You-oughta, we-oughta...ah...do something...er...else? My version of hell: sitting for eternity at the top table at a young liberals fund raising dinner

[Tony Egan @agegan]

@MrDenmore In the last month I’ve been to a few gigs events, concerts events, picnics events and a basketball game event. Tautology overload :-)

[Tony Egan @agegan]

@MyFirstCousin Astoundingly, jaw-droppingly unqualified. What happens when RWNJs politicise the public service. We knew it was happening but this is a shocking and shameful example of the outcome.

[Tony Egan @agegan]

@marquelawyers Two giant frauds. I suppose JP spent 8 hours explaining to scummo whether or not he believed in his god - and neither were any wiser at the end.

[Tony Egan @agegan]

@MikeCarlton01 But it's rich and complex and you Australians are simply not good enough to understand it...so there! The good old argument from personal incredulity. I can't believe there's no god so there must be one - must do much better than that.

[Tony Egan @agegan]

@MikeCarlton01 @Melbchief I believe the interview took place at Four Seasons Manscaping Supplies :-)
