Australian (Northern Tablelands, NSW).
Retired Pubic Circus clown.
Passing interest in politics (socialist),
economics (post-Keynesian, MMT-curious),
and music (mostly Americana and related).
Forgot about this one. The Chats claim that this video cost $5 to make, for the sausage roll that Pricey the guitarist is eating while "perched atop of his milk-crate throne".

"I cannot in good conscious [sic]..."

The word Adams is looking for is 'conscience'. Please tell him that if he's going to spout pompous drivel, then he should at least use the right word.

I was at that concert. Garrett came out wearing a surf club skullcap and carrying a surfboard under his arm. (You can see the surfboard propped up against the drum riser.)

I think it was a 'unity' gesture as the clubbies and surfers tended not to get on in those days.

RIP Rob.

These days he's better-known as the (absent) father of Jeff, and this song is better known from This Mortal Coil's version sung by Elizabeth Fraser.

Ain't got no message for the youth of America

There are a few tutorial clips on YouTube about how to play the guitar part for this song. It isn't as easy as it sounds.

"Excessively rich people with more money than sense puffing up financial bubbles" works for me as an explanation.

Tesla last traded at a price-to-earnings ratio of 323.😲 But we (they) can still dream, "ambitiously".
