The Same Old Song

Reading the New Musical Express online this morning, I was unsure what to make of this headline:~ Australia's Deputy Prime Minister: "Bruce Springsteen Predicted The Economic Crisis"

Is the NME hard up for stories, or is Wayne Swan desperate for publicity &/or relevance? A bit of both, perhaps...

He could have been a bit more parochial about it though... Midnight Oil were banging on about much the same things in the early 80s... & Wayne has their lead singer in his own government!!

So in the tit-for-tat copycat game of Australian politics, who should Tony Abbott quote in his next interview? If he went for Manic Street Preachers I might even consider voting for him... for half an instant

Personally, my thoughts on both Wayne & Tony are best summed up by this...
