Nice tunes Nzoz - I bet you're Greek with a ponytail. Ever been to French's?

[nzoz1977]

@Isobelshome what do you mean i'm greek with a ponytail? and what do you mean by that question?

[christophermau1962]

@Isobelshome

Mate ,

Even a Greek with a ponytail would like this.Not sure of Nzoz's heritage but He sure brings the tunes on!!!

[nzoz1977]

@christophermau1962

South African-English

[nzoz1977]

you would too if they kept calling you Dick Clap

[Gee40areretarded]

Takes me back to the days of hanging at the local milkbar, chomping on a pine lime splice, playing the pinball machine with my mates and listening to this song on the radio.

30 deg c, hot and brilliantly aussie!

[TelecasterLPGTop]

@Isobelshome Every Sydneysider who loves great Aussi rock has seen the greats play at French's. The little shit hole with the cig butt burns on the carpet is gone now, it's a cafe or something equally as boring now.

[seaeagles64]

@Isobelshome ...NZOZ's real name is Bazza.. he hangs out during the week at my local break, drives a 1978 Sandman /panelvan, drinks cheap piss at "the bowlo" . has a girl named "shazza" , Thinks that the 'Cold War " was between VB and Tooheys. Most of all NZOZ is our mate.. Greek or not.. we love him...(shit) *or her * Thanks for comin but weve got no intintions of going to Frunce.

[4LMNO]

@Gee40areretarded Im with you on that memory

[FloydyTube]

I true Aussie legend - and a great guy

[ArtyRT]

just saw that RC confirmed for this Easter's Byron Bay Bluesfest ..... all the great songs ..LIVE !!

I'm in tears already ... can hardly wait ...

Oh .. and John Fogerty plays CCR ... awesome line up... Bluesfest

[Alvinsweeeeet]

I still cry a tad when I hear this song especially, 'sure as hell ain't peace of mind"... sweeeeet

[sandgropper6]

another great talent from down under ,one of my favorites goodbye tiger is super as well

[TheChryslers]

I had to always play his music when I was pregnant with my first child whose now 23yrs old. She would kick so hard if I played any other music and I hadn't really heard this music until I met her dad... I couldn't even play 'Caravan to midnight' by 'Robyn Trower'... It obviously was soothing to her and I have been to one of his concerts in Hobart @ the Wrest Point Casino... I learned to love his music even more...

[Darrinmanly]

@tolly63 been there,mate...twelve years ago,after my divorce..lucky I never got pulled over..I think I drove back to Clareville and passed out...then drove home to Enfield

[webinkcreative]

Ahh yeah, just got my drivers license when this song hit the charts. I want that Les Paul Gold Top to keep my 1969 Les Paul Custom company. Thanks for sharing this song and the long list of classics - time consuming job but worth it. Cheers.

@geko104

Sorry about that then. Are things really that bad ? Australia (currently) has one of the lowest unemployment rates and highest minimum wage rates in the world. Things could be worse.........

[geko104]

@gregmc315

You take my comment way out of context!

This was recorded when we really were the lucky country jobs for all and rewards for those who were prepared to have a go regardless of ethnicity, and our future was bright, That is no longer the case!

[gregmc315]

@geko104

Interesting comment about a song by a guy who is half Chinese........when you say "us Aussies" I wonder which particular group of immigrants you are talking about ? Open your eyes and your mind please.....something for you to think about while you enjoy your cappucino, your beer, your wine, a musical lyric or whatever else it is that was brought over or created by some "non Aussie"......

[TheGmgirl77]

Best musical intro ever!

[Gairlochan]

@nzoz1977 , I had you down as a New Zealander, because of the whole NZ/OZ thing, where Kiwis resent Aussies and Aussies look down on Kiwis. [GENERALISATION …!]

If you were an Aussie you'd have probably named your channel OzMusic or similar, as Kiwi bands come to Oz to 'make it big' (or bigger at least) and Aussies half the time think they're Aussie bands anyway. But a Kiwi would put NZ in the name, and put it first.

(I speak as an Aussie who emigrated to NZ and loved it, btw.)

[forkdriver500]

@tolly63 BT&DT....pissin ourselves while listening to this on the radio too :)))

[jtcrotty]

Can anyone hook me up with the chords to this song?

[fjbutch]

@pauljmathers Dead set !  didn't know that..you serious?

[fjbutch]

Brings back great memories....top track ....

[pauljmathers]

@felixq78 he has pterygiums which is why he wears dark glasses, not to hide "asian eyes". That's so ridiculous. There were a number of asians popular in the 70s - Les Goch from Hush for a start was a huge sex symbol. There are plenty of pics of Clapton without glasses. try the cover of Goodbye Tiger

[pauljmathers]

@nzoz1977 as most richard clapton fans would know (in fact anyone with any interest in australia music, Richard Clapton took this name himself, naming himself after his two favourite musos - Eric Clapton and Keith Richards.
