#81 more I hate inxs and RIP Lange!

good mornings people....

the cd release of HONEST DAVE VOL 1 is only hours away...... this is more exciting than a paper clip on trade-me, and i know you will have your credit cards at the ready....

in the meantime... a rant:

… ….. I still, I still can not get my head around it. my head is not that big, my nose is quite big though true, but getting my head and nose round the inxs show is quite some feat. Rockstar Inxs. Its something frightening and I feel unclean. What do us taxpayers pay our chief censor to do in this country????

I have renamed the band as an act of protest. They have rogered themselves. collectively they are now known as ‘inxsrogered’. they are now in the same league as the teletubbies. I will smash my inxs records with a hammer though not my eastwing because my east wing hammer is sacred.

Is our world so soiled, so rotten, so jaded, so full of vice and greed that a band could so violate themselves, and all they represent for the vultures of reality tv? I today Today, and from this day forward they shall not be called musicians but be called ‘telewhores’, crass, ill
witted, hagged has been hookers with bad hair. The debt they now owe society is now fathomless.

Wot are they thinking? Was their nana’s outfit at their twenty firsts insufficient embarrassment? Did they not do stink class speeches in the fourth form?? did they not shy at having raging acne before the school ball?, - why ? why? the show is not even a fundraising event for the Sudanese or for Rwanda or Ethiopia for petes sake. It’s nothing… just schlock mock rock.

Do these ex band members of inxsrogered have children?? Do they not care for their offspring who have to endure humiliation/ridicule week after week in their respective communities and places of employment ??

And while inxsrogered still continue to relieve themselves on the grave of the late Michael hutchence …us viewers at home all hold hands, cross fingers and pray that jessica makes it to the top job in fronting inxsrogered.

David lange passed away this week. Petrol rose another 4 freakin cents, but at the pump this week I just smiled and paid my respects to david. Yes, petrol will rise and fall but david will not rise again. The big man has gone.

David lange made being a prime minister look easy like a Sunday morning. he had a stapled stomach with a mouth that would not fit between any stapler and a non stapled set of lungs to power it. A brief word to him was recorded as ‘wombat’. Imagine john campbell asking david what he thought of ‘inxs rockstar’. Im sure david would have made some deft quip of merit….. and probably in agreement with honest dave.

Mr lange was not an all black. Did not play npc. Did not make even the odd club match. Did not even clean his boots for the otahuhu school first fifteen. Sadly, in his day there was no high school sumo wrestling of which he might have very well been a champion. No, mr lange did not climb mt everest. He was not an Olympian anything… but he could talk. No, he didn’t talk he spoke…eloquently …and like a spoked wheel he rolled with the punches and up hills

I vividly remember him standing up in a cheesy black suit debating the nuclear free policy. He was a man with vision and had the voice to deliver it. and the collective pride in this man who so masterly crafted word and thought and deed was tangible in this country….no mean feat.

He will be remembered for his statesmanship, as a wordsmith, but maybe more for the empathy for the disadvantaged displayed in his electorate and beyond.

you've been listening to honest dave on the generator...
