I was listening to Silverchair’s “Straight Lines” the other day and realised that the lyrics were written about John Howard. Don’t believe me? Check it out.

Wow that’s spooky Ed, we posted about interest rates just four minutes apart. Are you my long-lost surgically-removed twin brother?

wow, I always thought that song was about Daniel Johns’ coke addiction but you have really set me straight, thanks GrodsCorp!

Ha, that’s classic. It reminds me of the time I woke up, realised the 10cc song “Baron Samedi” was actually about John Howard, and made my own (terrible) video of it.

Was that Final Cut at work?

That video (just saw it on Youtube) is excellent work - I glad to see people are still keeping the heat on those pricks!
