00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: solidly with only murders in the building, which is where Merril, well,

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: he probably already knew Merrill, but you know, that's what's

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: where they get together in the blunt troop. Anyway, Martin

Speaker 1: started out in the seventies on a Canadian sketch show

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: called SCTV. I guess it was a little bit like

31
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: Canada's version of Saturday Night Line. It was. He was

32
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: alongside the likes of John Candy and Harold Ramus and

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: Eugene Levy and Katain O'Hara. That's where they first got together,

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: and they've done a lot of work to the not

35
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: least Shit's Creek. Of course, from there he ended up

36
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: in movies like Three Amigos in a Space and Father

37
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: of the Bride, Marston and Mus's Box and The Lovely

38
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: High Loo. Yes, what did he say? Frug? Frug was

39
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: just one of the greatest characters of the nineties. Robbie

40
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Williams is on course to break a record set by

41
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,120

44
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: the record with The better Man soundtrack a year ago

45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: and now he's about to beat it. The album came

46
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: just came out last Friday. He actually postponed its release

47
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: last October so it didn't come out the same week

48
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: as Taylor Swift's album. Because he's not silly, No, he's Rubbie.

49
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: But had they been around longer, they could have kept

50
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: having number one albums.

51
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: They could have you know what I'm saying, in the

52
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: scheme of things, they weren't, you know around.

53
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: I mean, let's you know that in the Harrison albums

54
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 2: and the albums and the McCartney albums after.

55
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: Don't rain on raining on running anyway, there.

56
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: Is I'm just being I'm just being putting into context.

57
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 1: Okay. On a very sad note, there is something else

58
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: that we must touch on this morning. You know, unless

59
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: your Dave Groll. Quite often the drummer in a band

60
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: gets you know, a little, maybe not lost, but little.

61
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: They're up they're up.

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: The back, the front guys are doing all the work.

63
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,600

Speaker 1: stage three pancreatic cancer in twenty twenty three. It's an awful,

67
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: awful disease. I mean, obviously all cancers are yes, that

68
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: one is terrible. Peter Garrett has led the tributes online,

69
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: saying after fighting heroically for almost three years, Rob is

70
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: now free of pain, a glimmer of tiny light in

71
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: the wilderness. He died peacefully, surrounded.

72
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: By lovel I seen a lot of tributes online yesterday

Speaker 1: of course you know the fans loved him too, so he.

76
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: Was very sad news to lose, and Midnight Oil especially,

77
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: you know, people of your age, our generation, they were

78
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 2: such such a big part of the Australian music scene

79
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: through the eighties and into the nineties. Massive, they were everywhere.

80
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: So I remember being at a Midnight All concert in

Speaker 1: thing was rocking so hard with people jumping up and down,

84
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,479

00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: foundations either.
