[TheGmgirl77]

[Glorytotheone]

Good song on album. Heres just shit.

[FazzaYeahbutnobut92]

wow, he's definitely getting worse. Did you guys know this story is true?. Told us at the Yallah gig a few years back, it actually happened to him.

[staffy58]

It didnt happen to him...hes full of shit,just like he takes credit for writing songs when he didnt.

[bj303player]

[66custer]

What's sad about all the comments here about this clip is that it actually isn't the Foster Brothers. Well it's some of them, but only 3 of the 6. The guitar player's name on the left is Rodney Auld (who now plays in a band called Jonahs Road), the drummer's name (forgive me Margie) is Scott MacDonald (I think). Stretch, Jon and Deaky are the only 'Fosters' in the clip. Sorry to burst your bubble :)

[DPrinceODarkness]

.. well it LOOKS like Rod anyway ;)

[staffy58]

What the ??? Mate i dont think you were around in the early 80s,were you? Stick with Ozzy osbourne champ.

[DPrinceODarkness]

Hmm. Okay. So which part of my reply are you referring to? Given that I'm hazy on who the guitar player (not Stretch) is.

[DPrinceODarkness]

I just watched that video with the sound off. I owe you an apology, about JD. Wow.. Still, it aint Henson playin drums.

[jokah9]

[jokah9]

[staffy58]

[DPrinceODarkness]

[staffy58]

Mate,ask jd who wrote love has power...end of story.!!! got original recording from small pub gig in geelong in 81'. Sorry champ. cheers

[librasue]

grt song!....wish it was clearer in audio, does anyone know if this has been recorded?...would love to buy it

[elegantlyevil]

Yeah it was recorded..about a hundred years ago on a vinyl record called Some People...don't know if you can download it online at all..maybe itunes?

[RainbowGuy2008]

did u know that Jon English wrote this about an encounter with a hitchhiker,he picked her up and after a while he looked around to see she was no longer there. He looked around and then went to the address she had given him to find an elderly woman. "Excuse me Miss,I picked up a young woman who gave me ur address" the woman looked angry and he later discovered he had picked up the ghost of her daughter. TRUE STORY

[DPrinceODarkness]

no it isnt a true story. it's an urban myth. Jon English left the UK before he was 12 years old and has lived in Australia ever since. I've worked for Jon for many years in his road crew and he often laughs about the mystery surrounding this 'true' story. In the live shows he explains that his dad had sent the newspaper story to Jon in Australia... but seeing as both his mum and dad were in Australia at the time.. well you get the picture :)

[angecanni]

WOn't somebody please please please post a video clip of Jon English & the Foster Brother.

There was a video clip for "Some People [have all the fun]" featured on Countdown. Does anyone have a copy of it ??? That would be awesome!

[msfyn]

And I thought my video-ing was bad .....but hey ....an awesome artist topped off by a great song. Thanks for sharing. I wish I knew how to edit my tapes

[angecanni]

There's another new Jon English clip on "She Was Real" recently featured on Wrokdown!

It's a more 'intimate' performance...

[angecanni]

Is that JD [on the left]Playing a '57 Gibson Les Paul?

[hairyeahyeah]

This would have to be without a doubt my favorite Jon song ever.  Even though i love them all.

Your a ledgend Jon

[bartsnharts]

Awesome song! People, the lyrics are worth looking up - a bit hard to hear clearly on this recording...but keep listening as the band really rocks after the halfway mark!

Sam, well done recording this (March 2008) - it was great sharing yet another Jon English and the Foster Brothers show with you!

Jon, you are such a talent - we always enjoy your shows!

Hope to see you again soon!
