Look Maa No Strings!

AFL football season is back and it it got me thinking about last year and the live TV performance  I was fortunate to be a part of last season.  Fortunate not only to be a part of a music project with great local Perth singer song writer Luke McPharlin, but also to have made it to Channel 9 Melbourne in the first place. Just about everyone feels the nerves and stress. Well I always have. Since playing a "Tom Dooley" trumpet and drum duet with my brother Carlo when I was ten at the "talent showcase", to this very day.  Yep I'm crapping myself up there.

Such is Addiction

Being a massive fan of Ben Cousins as a footballer, it was hard watching the public destruction of his football career through the media exhibition of his personal failings from 2005 -2008.  Through his documentary "Such is Life" this week we got to see and hear his side and take of events. Much was said and shown about drugs and addiction and the part it played in his and the Eagles fall from grace.

What was missed in the wash up in all this and particularly all the discussion around it was other forgotten and seemingly excusable "addictions".
