Hi,
Did he actually ring up the PM or did he pretend?
I recall seeing a U2 concert in Sydney in November, 1993 and BONO did the same thing. He had a phone (no phone box) on stage and made a call during the show. He rang a taxi company and asked for a ride home. The night before I was told he rang the Australian cricket captain, Allan Border. AB thought it was BS and just hung up on him. Not 100% on that one though. On other parts of the U2 USA tour he rang the white house and asked for President BUSH…
Later,
SK

Re: telephone box - that's brilliant, Bruce!
Much as I love many other bands around the traps, none would have the wit to pretend to ring up a PM like that.

PG was never shy about mentioning the Aus PM at shows, but one particularly reference to Malcolm Fraser, in a particular live show from the early 80's, always seems to stand out for me.
When I saw them in 85 the stage had an old telephone box on it that PG used to call then PM, Bob Hawke, for a little chat.
