Des mate where you been living???? Some years ago he made amusic video somewhere in NSW and they think he is the greatest. But surely you must have heard the song about the spaceman Major Tom!
Yes they get the headlines but with the way the world is it is better than some of the stuff coming out of middle east.

Unfortunately John for those of us living closer to the action news coming from the Middle East and Europe news and actions eminating from that area affect our lives much more than the death of some pop singer, but from the news bulletins and public and Press hysteria you would not think so. Be glad you live where you do
