Rockwiz

Saw rockwiz last night. What a great show. What great (sometimes aria winning) duets at the end of each show. Last night was a replay of the Eddi Reader and Liam O'maonlai episode from back in 2006. Where they did a magical rendition of "Across the Universe". I suppose the show is taking a break after last weeks myer music bowl special.

It reminded me that the best thing I ever saw on that show and possible the best thing ever to air on Australian TV (i'm not joking, it blows me away every time I see it) was the Archie Roach & Sara Storer rendition of "From Little Things Big Things Grow". Here it is on YouTube . To me it's a reminder that around the fringe of this football-meat-pie-moronic-fundamentally-racist culture there exists some things which occasionally restore my ability to endure it.
