My wife was fondly reminiscing about her high school days: after the dreariness of maths and chemistry she and her best friend would have a refreshing Masala and Coke when they got home.

No need to reference Wiki CK. Curtin Already covered on TWOP.
http://theworstofperth.com/2007/11/25/short-arm-syndrome/ It’s by the ubiquitous Smiths, who have dotted the city with their terrible bronzes. Think Burswood sculpture Park, giant kangaroos St Georges Tce. Giant Honky nuts, also covered by TWOP. They are building a giant digital clock near belltower.

“To get back to Bon, LA – I wonder whether there’ll be a similar debate to that which took place over the Elvis postage stamp, ie whether to use Sun Records Elvis or Vegas Elvis; I envisage spirited discussion over whether it should be Bon the residual Sharpie circa ‘High Voltage’, or the disturbing pre-poodle rock coiffure of the ‘Highway To Hell’ end days…”

Who cares? I just envisage something completely crap. Maybe by the author of the famous Fremantle Curtin bronze: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/Curtin_statue%2C_Fremantle.JPG

Just do it again, chuck a mullet on it, and hey presto, Bon Scott!

Yecch…I think if Robert Hughes ever wanted to save his breath (not bloody likely) in explaining to a non-Australian his concept of ‘The Convict Stain’, he could do worse than simply roll that tape…

Not only does Stone’s still exist – I’ve just finished a bottle of it.*

It goes well as a kinda liqueur with chocolate these days. In my not totaly mispent yoof it was a cheap way to get hammered.

*Not right now – hell its only 1 pm – I mean in the last week or so.
