Hi Powdies

Bones doesn't mention that time he played in Brisbane with Russell Crowe's band.

Russell had a reputation for being a bit overbearing so an Oils fan (a Powderworker) and I showed up to his afternoon gig, with her wearing a T-shirt that said "Just here to see Bones".  The other band members pointed and laughed but it wasn't clear that Russell saw the humour in it.  Bones popped down to the side of the stage afterwards to say g'day.

And there's a review of PG's book (spoiler alert - it features a great Lou Reed story from the book, in paragraphs 1-5)
