He was the obvious choice I guess reflecting our pre-occupation with sport.
I prefer to think he also got it for his work in India and for being a
cultural ambassador.
I didnt see it myself, as soon as little Johnny came on I turned it off. So
I didnt know what they played at it. I was just about to post that exactly
that song came up on the tape in my car last night as I was going to pick up
my daughter after the Skyshow(fireworks), just happened to have ESM in the
slot. Very surreal. Went to the Tour Down Under (cycling) earlier and
Patrick Jonker , an Australian won that.

Lew and Anna
Ps - So I like my sports as well.

Subject: [Powderworks] Oils are everywhere and Australia Day (SMOC)


In a ceremony combining the worst of The Oscars and The Today Show,
the Australian Of The Year (as well as other awards) Awards were
announced about an hour ago. the ceremony was televised on Channel 9
and during the segment where the nominees were profiled, channel 9
played My Country. memories of Ronald Reagan praising Sprinsgteen's
Born in the USA came to me. I thought it was pretty ironic that (a)
during an event that is supposed to be patriotic a song that speaks
of the dangers of nationalism (patriotism in the hands of a
government) was played and (b) it was done after a well known
similar mistake has already taken place (albeit, years ago). could
not figure it out. was it blindness due to patriotism or amnesia?

BTW - speaking of Australian Of The Year - what do you Aussie
workers out there think of the winner?
