• Sometimes I just want to give up and call everyone who does not get how wrong such assaults are pigs. - ro.watson
  • Given that i wish to see the continuation of carbon pricing and allied green policies, the roll out of the (real) NBN, the funding of the NDIS and the Gonski education reforms, i have no hesitation in voting Labor on September 14th. I will be extremely happy to see PM Gillard retain her position. - sally b
  • Show me your policies Tony Abbott. I judge Gillard on her strengths already, not as some putative enduring barricade against the shock jocks here or there, Germaine. - ro.watson
  • This is so much like my own story. I have so much trouble getting people to understand, even 6 years after separation that he will always be the father of my kids, that he is deserving of respect, even if he has not been the best husband, that I cannot live with him, I do not feel romantic any more but I want him to be the best person he can be because my kids love him and he is their hero, no matter what I say. And I worry so much about the kids and I hope they don't grow up without the skills for a beautiful relationship. So I hope all goes well. I look forward to seeing how you manage. - Bron
  • But to vote for someone just because they are a woman is as flawed as voting for someone just because they are a man. The key point in Germaine's article for me was that we need to start focusing on policies and not personalities. - Pea
  • The best way to defeat this disgusting attack on Julia Gillard is to support her re-election. If she were to succeed in being re-elected it would send a powerful message to her bigoted detractors. Would certainly put a lot of twisted bitter people back in their proper place. - JohnB
  • I'm a big fan of classical music and rap, maybe it's because i'm from the ipod generation but i don't see why it has to be one or the other. I totally understand not liking rap, but that doesn't mean it has no value. Maybe it's unfair to specifically target Mandy's article, because this is one of many articles reinforce a myopic view of misogyny in music by specifically using rap as an example when it is in all genres, but i felt the readership of the hoopla is intelligent and considered enough to consider my point, which is the double standard when it comes to criticism of misogyny in music. Rap is a genre created by black people and has clear connotations towards it, and this article isn't without context. I realise it was unintentional but it reinforces negative stereotypes about rap, and by extentsion black culture. One doesn't have to mention race for it still to be relevant to the discussion. I am in complete agreement with her otherwise. Anyway I feel i've made my case and it's for others to judge whether i'm right or not. I don't want to continue this because i don't want to diminish the point of this article, which is that we as a society don't take rape a tenth as seriously as we should. That i'm sure is something that you and i can agree on Tony. - Ash
  • Fight, flight or freeze Katie? I froze. I recommend self defence training even if it might complicate your life you know that block, run and scream for help. It did not help me asleep, but I had the moves automatically to resist unlawful use of force when grabbed from behind, notwithstanding what my girlfriend felt at the time.. - ro.watson
  • Tony Windsor stands out like a beacon in Canberra. If the people of New England fail to re-elect this man I will be very surprised. Country people recognize the genuine article when they see it; Peter Andren is the proof of that - he recorded the largest proportion of votes in an election without party affiliation. A good independent will achieve more for an electorate than any party hack will. - JohnB
  • Glad you're on board, Germaine. - Rhoda

JOE WALSH: THE ANALOG MAN

Joe Walsh is in his comfort zone. And that’s the way he likes it.

The rock legend and former Eagles guitarist is back with his first solo album in twenty years. It’s filled with the same sway-worthy guitar licks and soul you expect from the man credited with bringing a rougher sound to the Eagles.

But The Eagles are in the past, and Joe Walsh is focused on the now – despite what his album title, Analog Man, suggests. He has a new wife of four years, who he dedicated the album to, and well, the one and only Ringo Starr guests on drums.

“It’s been 20 years and I have a lot to say,” said Walsh. “These songs come from the heart.”

And what’s changed in those twenty years?
“I think there is some confidence in there that I never had. That’s what I was hiding.”
