Wow, feeling the love in this thread, thought I'd have a look at his work, (people get awards for this?) took me about 15 min to find something funny or true, but it's very fitting to the thread!

Then I found this

That's pretty sad, and if that cartoon helps get that story out there, well it's got to be a good thing.

Someone is always offended by every truth, satire is a humour not for every palate, sometimes truth needs to be said in an offensive fashion for it to hit home. And sometimes jokes go too far.

Well Bill, I'd never heard of you, seems you hit the mark in your aim, in more ways than one, 61 is too young for anyone to die, RIP, most people deserve that.

Except umpires.

If he was paying fees to the CFMEU without being forced to, he must have really lost his mind toward the end

Nah, just indicates that he strongly supported working class people in one of the most dangerous industries getting organised against the shonky builders that dominate the industry.

From supporting the Pies to the CFMEU, same smart guy, same excellent instincts.

Please don't put Collingwood and the CFMEU in the same sentence, it makes me feel ill as a Collingwood supporter.

You know what CFMEU stands for? Come **** My Employer Up.

yeah, grundle.

It's interesting that leak polarises opinion so much. Are the lefties so put out that the same edge he used to support their causes was turned against them?

I can't help wondering if he changed much after the accident that nearly killed him.

Sad day for Rock n Roll. One of the first lead breaks I learned playing guitar. RIP Chuck.

"The main guy was Louis Jordan. I wanted to sing like Nat Cole, with lyrics like Louis Jordan with the swing of Bennie Goodman with Charlie Christian on guitar, playing Carl Hogan's riffs, with the soul of Muddy Waters."

Now, there's an aspiration for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57rrb_95PGU
