Midnight Oil the great Aussie rock band from the 70’s 80’s and 90’s spawned the Labor Politician Peter Garrett. not surprising really as the majority of their songs were political in some way or other.
I never saw Midnight Oil live in Australia. I guess the whole Midnight Oil politics thing didn’t grab me then. I like a lot of their songs. As songs. Not as political statements.
These days Peter Garrett from Midnight Oil is a Labor Minister for something. I hope that he is doing what he protested about via his music for 3 decades.
