13
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 3: Went back last year to the State, went there and

14
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 3: did all these hippie songs?

15
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Is there any one song that thought? Wow, I can't

16
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: believe I wrote this.

17
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 3: I was clanning around in the back of a boat

18
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: in which Sundays the Daryl Braithwait and it was on

19
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 3: my birthday and Darryl said, you've been around a while, Ralph,

20
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: you know how long has it been? And then I

21
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 3: realized Prussian Blue came out in nineteen seventy three, and

22
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: I said, Jesus, Darryl.

23
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: Fifty years years.

24
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 3: I listened to all the prodige good Children for the

25
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: first time in about thirty years, and hey man, I

26
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: wrote that. I wrote that I must be a genius.

27
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 3: I saw something that really resonated with me. It was

28
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 3: Bob Dylan being interviewed and the question was could he

29
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 3: ever write songs like that again, to which he said, nah,

30
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 3: it's interesting because I sort of feel the same way.

31
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know whether I could write songs

32
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 3: like I did fifty years ago.

33
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: But that's interesting, isn't it?

34
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: Because you kind of wondered then what the muse was

35
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: at that particular stage. Was it a search for recognition?

36
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: Was it hunger?

37
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: It was Bob Dylan. I think I would have been

38
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: about fifteen.

39
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 4: Prior to that.

40
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: As a teenager, I'd been into Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gay.

41
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: I just really loved all the black singers and the

42
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 3: black blues singers like Harlem Wolf.

43
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 4: Then one night somebody's.

44
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 3: Older brother brought back all these Bob Dylan albums from

45
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: Europe and it's all I now. Baby Blue came on

46
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: and this brilliant shaft white luck came down from the heavens.

47
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: That was my epiphany, and that was the point where

48
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: I said I want to be that guy.

49
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: Because that sometimes happening sometimes that this incredible lyricly dude,

50
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: it's out of the blue, and you're going, I'm got

51
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: a pen.

52
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 3: We live on a street in rose Bay and Sydney

53
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: called Charlie Avenue. Next street along in rose Bay was

54
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 3: called the Avenue. There's three pretty girls who lived in

55
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: the house on the Avenue and they still around by

56
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 3: the way and they're sitting out in the porch. So

57
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: I wrote girls in the Avenue. Now, the ironic thing

58
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: about me doing that, I had started hanging around with

59
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: the Melbourne band called the Dingoes, who are you know,

60
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 3: to this day still my icons. So I got a

61
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: banjo Patterson lyric called Traveling down the Castle Ragh and

62
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: I set it to Dingo esque Australian country walk music

63
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 3: and festival thought that was the ants pants. Girls in

64
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 3: the Avenue shot up number one for me. It was

65
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 3: sort of weird. Then I went on countdown and it

66
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: was girls chasing me down the street and all that

67
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. I'm a cool hippie, you know. I

68
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: want to be Bob Dylan. I want to be throwing

69
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: down the street like one of the basity rollers.

70
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: Which is why Jenn's here because You've still got that appeal,

71
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: and that, of course is why Sean is here as well,

72
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: because you mentioned that song. Sean the lead singer and

73
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: guitarist from up and coming Sydney band The Young.

74
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: Radical What is it the Richie Kids? Yeah, right on, Mike,

75
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: and he.

76
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: Could have told me. And he's going to play guitar

77
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: with you. Four girls on the Avenue, have you been practicing?
