The sports were such a great band! This is a great cover but their originals were first class. Does anybody out there have a video of their song "Dont Throw stones"?

nzoz1978:
Yes, I do. I put it up on my other account NZOZ1979, serving Aussie/Kiwi music of 1979. Just do a search on YouTube, it's there.

Lassani12:
NZOZ1978 - My uncle was the drummer in The Sports (Paul Hitchins). I would love a better copy of "Who listens to the Radio" as my grandparents, who are now deceased, are in the music video clip. The quality isn't that good and I would love to give my daughter the opportunity to see her great grandparents. This would be great. And I agree with 123arqus The Sports were a fantastic band as were many around the same time like Jo Jo Zep, Dragon and Skyhooks.

Three words for this is: pretentious, unimaginitive and mediocre.

@CrankCase08

Eleven words for you:

Nobody, really, cares, about, you, and, your, stuck, up, English, opinion.

:-)

[CrankCase08]

@nzoz1978 At least my opinion demonstrates more critical intelligence than you. With intelligence like yours you could be a Muslim. Or is it that you have a 'thing' for the idiot of a vocalist?

[nzoz1978]

@CrankCase08 I don't give a fucking shit how critical and intelligent you think your mind is. You're a conceited piece of shit as far as I'm concerned. Obviously from your response you lack intelligence.. What the fuck does religious persuasion have to do with this? Get your fucking head out of you fucking arse, wake up to reality... nobody fucking cares about your stuck up opinion.  I bet your not even making money out of having an opinion. Piss off you ant.

[CrankCase08]

@nzoz1978 You clearly have degenerate sexual desires for someone in this video.

[nzoz1978]

@CrankCase08 who the fuck is raising sexual issues here? You got some real issues you fucking weirdo. Anyway, I've had enough of you dealing with a virgin troll.. you're blocked. Fuck off.
