A few years ago James played at a theatre that my friend managed. She literally bought him an indoor plant for his dressing room. I tried to warn her...

Favourite Misheard Lyric: "Ute full of people"

I'm not sure you all heard when James sang "beautiful people", but I keep hearing 'big balls' 😅😅🤭

First concert I ever saw was Aussie Crawl. I was 14 underage at Caloundra Civic Centre with my friend, her older sister and my older cousin. Years later I met James Reyne at my children’s primary school at Chancellor Park Primary School Sippy Downs. I was just dropping my kids at school and he was playing his acoustic guitar and singing. I spoke too him briefly. He actually stopped and spoke with me and was very polite. I think all the mums there were pretty juiced up I’m just gonna say. It was pretty cool at the time. Was he living there? Did his kids go to my kids school? I don’t know to this day. I don’t see any other reason for him being there. Anyway I told him I was an Aussie Crawl fan and they were my first ever concert I went to. PS I got in a lot of trouble with my family from my teen incident because I was 14 and got up to mischief. My uncle was a bishop at the time and a church member dobbed me in. Anyway I had to confess to my father and I’m alive to tell the tale!

Simon Binks....Utterly crucial to the Crawls sound. Without him, there were 2 rhythm players.. ..❤

James performed with both wrists broken and in plaster as seen in the video. He then wrote a song about being hit by a car called Indisposed. Wanna tell you 'bout my Frenda He got hit by a Fender But he'll soon be on the menda He's of the male genda Glad to see that he's on his way He's not for Burial today Because he's in... he's indisposed Because he's in yeah yeah... he's indisposed Found him outside the dry cleaners Oh the drivers misdemeanors I've never seen a face so greena He looks a like the cats dinner Glad to see that he's on his way He's not for Burial today Because he's in... he's indisposed Because he's in yeah yeah... he's indisposed He got hit by a car Now he's lying on the tar Had an experience bizarre Not unlike that makes you laugh ra! ra! hey!

I agree. I lived in Australia from 79 to 82. A great natural environment, but there was something off about young baby boomer Aussies and to a lesser extent their more subtle parents. However, the lines about Studio 54 and friends from LA might be a criticism of how shallow another society is.
