surprisetech Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 21 hours ago, zippi said: leads to a line from Paul Kelly that I wistfully remember each time I drive up the Kensington road: "Kensington Road runs straight for a while before turning" "We lived on the bend, it was there I was raised and fed" Yep, that's the song. Apparently didn't go down too well with some of his relos. In '82 we'd had Springsteen baring his (& his country's) soul on Nebraska and it was huge. In '85 Paul Kelly easily reached the same heights with Post and it didn't even chart! Aussie commercial radio sucks! A few of the songs on Post, including this one, are better known by the full band versions on Gossip. I love the Gossip album, but give me the raw energy of Post any day! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m with ya on that I spend hours listening to folkie stuff from the 60’s What they were protesting then is kindergarten compared to today caught between the longing for love and the struggle for the legal tender Great writer Jackson Browne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooogh Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Oh they play those token games on Willy Thompson And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs Annie Johnson. Rodriguz, Cause. I don’t know who Willy Thompson is, but the last line sums up the futility and tragedy of war in twelve words. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
