Talking about radio ratings made me think of Rob Duckworth, who used to host breakfast on Brisbane's Triple M in the early 1990s. Back then, Duckworth and on-air partner Dave Gibson achieved ratings that would have made them No.1 these days, but they got sacked anyway. I'm pleased to report that Duckworth, with whom I once shared a rather exciting trip to the Beenleigh Tavern to see Jimmy Barnes, is back on Triple M in Sydney. Here's his profile.
I've just seen Keating! and I am impressed. The folks at the Brisbane Powerhouse have had to add an extra show because of overwhelming demand for this amusing musical about the prime minister Australia had to have. I especially liked the scenes with Gareth Evans and Cheryl Kernot, and the Alexander Downer segment with its nod to The Rocky Horror Show. See it if you can.
Who owns music posted at web community sites? That's a question singer-songwriter-activist Billy Bragg has been asking. In this Media Guardian story Bragg praises My Space for changing its terms to respect artists' rights but questions Bebo's terms and conditions.
