Nice pun.

I'm always going to associate that song with Upper Middle Bogan now (the one with the sweary bits).

Definitely! Just like Gutter Black will forever be the Outrageous Fortune song :)


Keen to go as long as Steve Stevens is playing, can't imagine why he wouldn't.
Loving it so far

Oh man. I remember seeing Cheap Trick in the Auckland Town Hall 1979. They were so loud it took about 5 songs until I could actually hear what they were playing.

I saw cheap trick a few years back opening for def Leppard (my wife wanted to go, don't blame me) in Brisbane. They were pretty damn good value.
Ummm....
