  • A recent email from Eddie
    came with an mp3 attachment: the original version of “Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport” by the man who brought us the stylophone -

    A pleasant little song for a Sunday evening. It has Australia‘s contribution to World Music — the wobble board — and the racially charged line ‘let me abos go loose…’ – Eddie

    VERY coincidentally, two days later… Rolf apologizes.

    P.S. For American readers: the term “abo” in Australia is equivalent to the “N” word in the USA.
