    So. A mistake? or blatant copyright infringement? Did Harper pass it of as one of his own and Greer was duped?

    Maybe they were just trying to emulate Led Zeppelin 2.

  • Jackie Clark,

    I wonder if Neil's aware that a very big band (at the time), Human Instinct covered this song,

    A propos of absolutely nothing at all, my husband loves Human Instinct.

  • Russell Brown,

    Because I wasn't up to doing much else, I've written a rather extensive BDO 09 wrap-up:

    I did also go for a swim yesterday.

    One of the best things about Wellington in January is the nightly concerts and light show at the botanical gardens. Each night a different group entertains at the sound shell and the lights are on till about 10 pm. Disco balls, Mr Bean light circles, coloured waterfalls, underlit magnolias, changing spotlights at the duckpond etc. Nice family stuff for a warm evening.

    @Stephen Judd
    And that's why Hamas takes such pains only to aim rockets at military targets
    The Israelis complain endlessly about how 'indiscriminate' the Hamas rockets are because they cannot be targeted. Which makes the above either manifestly ignorant, deeply biased or just callously indifferent.

    Only skimmed through this topic, so I might be missing something here, but not I’m sure what your point is Peter. The Israelis shouldn’t complain about having inaccurate rockets pointed in their general direction and fired at them?

  • Sacha,

    It was sarcastic.

  • Steve Parks,

    Stephen Judd's comment was, yes. Or do you mean Peter's reply was a sarcastic riff on an already sarcastic comment? (Peter was taking the piss out of the other Stephen?) Ugh. Too mauch for me, this early in the year.

    Not sure if anyone beat me to it, but Chomsky rains on Obama's parade.

  • Jackie Clark,

    We have been accompanied for weeks by a tui who perches on the very tip of one of the pine trees and sings a distinctive song.

    I wasn't quite sure where to put this, but this quote from Russell in the original post seems apt. Mahina did, after all, sing a distinctive song.
