So sad, all the legendary axe pluckers gone or just hanging on, it was a golden age.

Champion @innsaneink, that sure was a time like no other, bands all across Sydney.
I would love to see the band from the Manly Vale Hotel - "Biggles First Case" - brilliant band name, I wonder what they sang like.

When I was at uni, I lived in a share house in Newtown, across the road from Tim Freedman’s terrace. At the time, I didn’t know much about The Whitlams, other than that he would regularly have late night jam sessions and the occasional open house street party. It wasn’t really my thing, but I eventually added some of his songs to my Spotify playlist. One came on today while we were driving to the shops, and it reminded me how much I’ve come to appreciate his talent since then.

The song was Blow Up the Pokies. His bandmate and good friend Andy got into huge debt and took his own life because he couldn't see a way out. It's tragic, from what I understand he had a young child at the time.

Yeah gambling addiction is brutal.

It's the only addiction that makes you think doing more of it is the way out.

Those bastard machines are designed to addict you. It's criminal really. At least with drugs you have fun. With gambling and pokies in particular you're just feeding a machine money for the most part.
