Let’s shift Australia Day. It was only ever a marketing exercise and the symbolism of the date is all wrong in a modern multicultural nation.

I used to be a contributing editor at Rolling Stone magazine, which sounds a lot cooler than it was. Basically, if you hung around long enough you got to be one, because they weren't going to pay you any more for your copy. Still, I learned a lot working for that magazine, wrote a few stories I still think of fondly, and had a whole heap of fun. There were lots of free tickets to concerts and stuff like that. And they let me sleep on the couch. It was beyond disappointing, trending towards really fucking upsetting actually, to learn that the old rag had given itself over to pimped editorial. |
