Hi Ray.
I am discovering new elements and layers to this song with each listen.From the driving guitars to the stirring vocals and harmonies. The narrative of this song is very timely as the newly released 'Palace letters' have revealed then governor-general Sir John Kerr sacked the Whitlam government in 1975 without giving advance notice to the Queen.
Gough was a larger than life character who wore his heart on his sleeve and was highly respected by both sides of politics.
Ray sang >"He wouldn't be a clog in the machine"<
Yep. So different to todays "bought and paid for" pollies.
Great song Ray and nice cameo of Little Pattie ,Bobby Limb et al.
