Dear Readers,
The other night after a long day I was watching the late news on Channel 10 which had seemingly revamped itself to be something of a hybrid of entertainment show come late night bulletin. It had become increasingly noticeable, as though some young kid had taken over the control room and was trying to create his or her idea of how the news should be presented at this hour. I didn't mind it really. I thought, 'they ought to sack him but pat him on the back and give him his own programme'. In between news they were bringing on entertainers, such as Kate Cebrano, to sing new songs. It really was altogether perplexing because you were watching it all unfold in the usual newsroom. BUT, something happened. As they came back from the ad breaks I really was impressed with some of the music they were playing as the camera pulled into the studio. And one of the songs they came back to was a classic 80's Australiana anthem which I hadn't heard for years and almost brought tears to my eyes. Catchy as hell, here is The Models singing Barbados, have a listen and don't pass judgement until you get 3/4 of the way through.
Whatever you do, don't google the song for sadly the main search reveals that the lead singer took his life a few years ago. A bit of a bitter end to a rather sweet song.
