I have to say, I hadn't really seen FotC - on too late for someone with a 2-yr old kid - but saw a clip on Teev this morning.

"You're so beautiful, you could have been an air hostess in the 60's" :lol:

Damn you, Big the Dave! :Pokey:

I don't like that nostalgia kick - it makes me feel all nostalgic.
And sad. :crybaby:

I really enjoyed the 70s and early 80s. Best time of my life, in some ways (bikes, birds, booze, toldless parties, etc etc.)

I remember now - BLERTA turned up at our high school one day, set up in the grounds, and did a free concert. I've no idea why, but it was very kewl.

I liked that song 'Tauramnui on the Main Trunk Line.' Now theres a bit of 'old' Kiwi Kulture.

Mother Goose had a get together in dunedin a while ago Marcell Rodeka who is the drummer grew up around the corner from me and my sister went out with him for a while, i still see him around and Dennis Gibbons runs the local tile Centre shop (neither of them have as much hair nowdays)

Well the times gettin' hard for you little girl
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over god's world
You don't remember when you got your last meal
And you forgot just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock n' roll was
Until you met a drummer on a greyhound bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line

Pretty amazing considering that Crowded house only got up to #5 on album charts.
By Comparison Split Enz ranked in at a peak of 137
