I remember reading an interview with Joe Camilleri around the time that The Black Sorrows were at their zenith (early 90ās). The interviewer was inferring that it was good for Camilleri to finally get some mass acceptance and that heād surely now be rolling in dough. Joe responded something along the lines of āYou must be joking - Iām still ball-deep in debts to Mushroom for the Jo Jo Zep days - we were given massive advances and none of the albums ever paid them back. You donāt realise at the time that everything given to you upfront is against future sales. If you donāt sell, youāre in debt and Iāve carried those debts for 10 plus yearsā. A cautionary tale for young musos thereā¦
A bare yes (at least the single version had the good sense to fade it early at around 3ā30" before the sax came inā¦ Iāll pretend I never heard the last minute or soā¦)

Whereās the complaining about references to dodgy inner-northern suburbs nightclubs, eh???
YES to Jo Jo by the way, always rated him.
No luck with the brideās maidsā roster?
Early 20ās is the best time to make out with brideās maids. More likely to be single + up for some due to the emotional environment and access to champagne and a dance floor. Itās a good combination. The pull rate drops off significantly after 30 however, picks up again after 40 due to the appearance of divorced brideās maids. What Iām saying here is that timing action with brideās maids, and timing in life generally, is very important.

Canāt stop laughing at this, LB. 
I was already in my 30s at that time & married, so I cannot comment any further. 
p.s. I did leave my wife back in Japan, though, to attend this wedding. Make of that what you will.
Early 20ās. The golden yearsā¦

A former work mate had a rough first draft of a story/book about growing up and life in the western suburbs. Iāll see if I can dredge it up.
This work mate was mates with Pasquale Barbaro and that crew so the stories are based around the 90ās iirc.

As in the one in the van with Jason Moran at Auskick
I was very careful and nice around the work mate after that information came to light.
Funny that we lost contact years ago 
So Diggers peaked in his early 20ās. Makes sense.
