Even the early INXS stuff is truly terrible.Bands with the most hilarious names,yes jimmy barnes I'm talking to you! but this morning I was unfortunate enough to see on Sunrise a snippet of whats in store for the poor b*****ds who have booked tickets for the 'Countdown' reunion tour (some 70's/80's sunday nite music showcase thing) Even my daughter who is 10 stopped in astonishment at how appalling it was, I think even koshie was just being kind to them when he applauded at the end. Did any of you guys see it?

Wow - Chris Evans really landed on his feet then?!?! He's not bad - a bit of fluff to end the night with.
Is JW still having probs with his cancer or is he clear now? I presume this is why he left?

I read up - he left to have more time to do other things. Prob when I get to 60 I won't want to be slogging my guts out 6 days a week either.
