Yes it is but here, they will all be dialling in with claims about the Jimmy Barnes or Paul Kelly autobiographies! If the author has not been photographed naked in a car park in Tamworth wearing a turtle shell there’s no contest. I also have good words for @coseyfannitutti’s book!

Them's fightin' words. My unpopular opinion, which you clearly asked for, is in favour of Ray Davies' 'X-Ray' (The 'unauthorised' autobiography).

For our final unit session 'Sustaining Culture and Creativity in the Anthropocene', one of the student tasks was to produce a one page 'Do It Yourself Message in a Bottle' for the poor souls who (may) come after us. We have paintings, sculptures, collages. We are going to need a bigger bottle!

Not having much interest in John's post FABS years, this proved to be engaging and instructive. Not sure I'm won by 50% of JL's music however. Great version of 'Don't Worry Kyoko' and a funny thread on obtaining live flies.https://youtu.be/oxagfYjeMV4?si=IohC4t-VfKneqccs
