A bit of Rose Tattoo and why I wish I was more like other people...



So there I was listening to Rose Tattoo who I started to describe as a working man's, barroom version of AC/DC. Then i realised I was describing AC/DC. So I stopped trying to describe them.

Angry Anderson, their singer, was in the 3rd Mad Max film.

He also sang Kylie and Jason's wedding song in Neighbours.

I like them because they make me feel good about hating my job.

They're also a bit right wing at times but then again so is my sister.

In a totally unrelated jump I've also done a good bit of online research whilst stuck here in my cubicle which I felt I had to share.

I came across (not literally) a group of charming pakistani lads whilst looking for the Usual Suspects.

And then I found loads of really scary pictures of Americans that kind of reinforce why the world hates them.

But then I suppose there's something naively charming about these kind of pictures too, in that many Americans seem to accept things at face value and don't see the sinister subtext that I do. Or realise why people mightn't like them.

Anyway, I'm off to look for second hand postcards in charity shops on my way home today. I'm going to try and imagine what kind of better life I could have.

and listen to some more Rose Tattoo.
