NEWSLETTER CD RELEASE 2007

Hello to all our friends in cyberspace. We hope you have had a safe, happy and productive Yuletide. Well here we are, 2007 years after the Virgin birth in Bethlehem. How quickly theological time has flown.

Global politics, from the Western point of view, has stumbled from calamity to catastrophe with the neocons in the US administration stepping down, sacked, or shunted to the World Bank where Mr. "Pre emptive Strike" got himself the sack for giving his partner a pay rise, in effect, being caught with her hand in the honey jar. Tony Blah is retiring from number 10 having failed to formulate an exit strategy for a war he helped start.

[It is said Mr. Blah's next occupation is setting up a world wide vehicle franchise that markets cars that have 28 forward gears and no reverse.]

Saddam Insane was given the long drop with the sudden stop…. the civil war in Iraq has intensified….. and the Middle Eastern countries continue to reduce each others populations.

Dubya has to deal with a hostile woman from Congress, she has the idea that the US military, should vacate the Iraqi sand- pit pronto, or she's gonna cut the purse strings. Dubya and his neocons are reported to be striving to have her classified as a terrorist and a threat to national security so they can dispatch her via Egypt, Pakistan and Afghanistan, clad in an orange jump-suit, to Guantanamo Bay, where she can occupy the cell vacated by David Hicks.

The lobbyists, think-tanks and global corporation political donators are sure getting value for money world wide. The oil companies have the military forces of many countries, defending their investments at no cost to the corporations. Taxpayers money is used to secure their investments.

The Great Southern Land [TGSL] is gearing up for another Federal election this year. There are a few issues, from the environmental point of view, that have forced their way onto the agenda, in spite of the determined efforts of the minority that runs our [Global-Corporation Democracy [GCD. au]; to ignore, dismiss, and denigrate the tsunami of scientific evidence and data, that has been gathering like a category 5 cyclone, for the last fifty years.

"It's climate change"…… "No it's just a drought." These are the two opinions that are emerging. On the one hand it is a permanent change in the earth's weather…… on the other it's just a passing dry spell. When we have to go downs to the public swimming pool with a bucket to get enough water to boil a cup of tea, perhaps the supporters of the "it's just a drought" argument will wake up.

Federal politics has evolved into an interesting confrontation this year KevinJuliaWaynePeter team are giving the JohnPeterTonyPhillip mob a run for their money. I'm sure it'll go the full fifteen rounds with quite a few knockdowns and below the belt hits.

The Global-Corporation-Democracy [GCD.au] that has developed over the last 150 years is increasing it's strangle hold on the wealth of TGSL. Both sides of the political barnyard are protecting the health of the banks, stock exchanges and corporations before we, the voting public, have our welfare attended to. We, the people, have been relegated to the old thunder box down in the back paddock. Mr Macquarie Bank King Bee, had his trough topped up with around $30,000.000 for his work in running his barnyard for the year. He and his board are said to be disappointed they failed to capture the
TGSL's iconic, albino kangaroo and transfer it overseas.

On the 17/2/07 Virgin launched the "Cannot Buy My Soul" album. Paul Kelly produced it and it was his idea to have other artists do versions of some of the songs from the back catalogue. The versions are amazing.

I was shown how I should have arranged and sung them.

Dan Kelly, John Butler Trio, Bernard Fanning, The Last Kinection, The Waifs, The Drones, Troy Casser-Daley, Archie Roach, Sara Storer, Dan Sultan & Scott Wilson, Tex Perkins, Clare Bowditch, The Herd, Augie March/Missy Higgins/Paul Kelly, The Pigram Brothers. What a line up of brilliant talent.

It is a two disc CD, with the originals on the second disc.
Both Paul and I were amazed at how quickly the people responded ….. only a couple of weeks. Then Paul rang me and said " There is only 78 minutes on a CD ... It's going to be a close call to fit them all on" But he did. He would send the tracks through on disc. He was so excited with one track, the one Archie Roach did "Cannot Buy My Soul," that he rang up and played the rough take over the phone.

The art work is stunning our son Michael contributed to the graphics.

So all my friends out there in cyberspace ……. Tell your friends to get a copy.

I've played a few gigs since Yuletide. The Byron Bay Blues and Roots festival ….. great gig and met so many old friends. Did the Womadelaide and sang with the Waifs. Make Poverty History sang with John Butler and Paul Kelly, and the SCG IR concert with Missy Higgins. She's a great person. The last two gigs were benefits.

I have done three television programs. Message Stick, Talking Heads and Rockwiz.

We have had a beautiful addition to the family Layla born to Shannon and Danny, She is now 12 weeks old, the 11th grandchild.

Now for a recipe:

Glazed Chicken Wings

¼ cup [60ml] soy sauce
¼ cup [60ml] honey
1 garlic clove finely chopped
1 teaspoon of freshly chopped ginger
¼ teaspoon five-spice powder
[700g] chicken wings
Salt and pepper
Chillie to taste
Vegetable Oil

1. Combine the soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger and five-spice powder in a small saucepan and bring to the boil and simmer until it becomes like syrup usually about 5 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 200 degrees

3. Remove the wing tips and reserve for stock. Cut the wings into two pieces and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

4. Put a little water in a baking dish and place a rack on top of the dish. Place the wings bumpy side up on the rack. Be sure they don't touch each other or they'll stick together. Brush the wings with the glazed sauce.

5.Bake the wings for 10 minutes, Then brush them with the glaze and cook another 10 minutes.

6. Turn up the temperature to 230 degrees and brush the wings again and bake for another 5 minutes. Brush the wings one final time and cook for anbother 5 minutes or until dark brown.

Enjoy.
