tragic life style and tragic end for herself ; her family and the music industry - got most of her stuff and she didn't put much on disc

just been browsing about Jerry Rafferty - great music but dark character - had two hits that dragged in $A 200, 000 and more per year and he left 1.7 million pounds to his family - daughter and grand daughter essentially - definitely a big piss artist and could knock back a couple of apple brandy per day maybe double - destroyed his liver and his life BUT great music and still pulling in the pounds!

I'm a bit late to the fray but I noticed some uncomplimentary remarks about Rolf to the extent that some folks in this forum question his authenticity as an Aussie expat.
I saw an assertion that Rolf is suddenly recognised as an Australian since his conviction. Well, pedophilia is as Australian as a public servant wearing long socks in summer back in the 1970's. Comb tucked snuggly in the top of the right sock of course.
The back bar at the Bassendean Hotel is named after the Perth's greatest son. The Rolf Harris Bar. I admit there may have been a revision to the name as its a while since I went to that charnel house. Talk about a 'rough as guts' pub.
Anyway, to get to the point.....
Perhaps the forum could steer clear of mocking our second most famous convicted pervert and respect the music. 'Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport' was an epic. Jake the Peg is quite correctly recognised as a scathing indictment on society's attitude to raincoat wearing deviants. 'Six White Boomers' was a postmodernist elegy mourning the passing of fat white entitlement. On the other hand 'Two Little Boys' is only the second worst piece of shit ever applied to the old turntable. If you don't believe me check out 'Carra Barra Wirra Canna'. Oh boy that's bad. Its the absolute worst. Do yourself a favour. If you think ABBA is the nadir, don't forget old Rolf crooning 'Carra Barra Wirra Canna'. Honestly it would make a tapeworm gag. It cured my anxiety condition. I've now seen the worst thing that can happen. Of course this is the sublime parody that the genius of Rolf Harris is able to confect. The man is a colossus of nauseatingly saccharine popular music.
The man has paid his dues. In his private life he did the crime and he's now doing the time. Posterity will judge him on his artistic oeuvre.
Anyway I'm off to other Forums to continue the huge task of trying to separate the artist from the work and put Rolf into his rightful place in the annals of popular music.
Via la back catalogue!
