You're probably right TBH. For one thing it makes no sense to mix the sound from side stage. You really wouldn't want to hear what most bands sound like from back/side stage out the front of the stage. What this guy gave to Nick seemed to be premixed though.
Nick Cave once told me he was a Footscray supporter. Something about a old uncle or cousin that played for us back in the day. He does have a weird sense of humour so he may have been taking the piss.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Ben Cousins again
So nearly 6 and a half years on from when this thread was started and Ben is back in court and he really needs to be locked up for a long, long time if the charges of his threatening behavior to his former partner is even close to being the truth.
He's had more than enough chances.

I didn't realise he was even out. Surely will do a massive stretch.

Given his alleged threats to the mother of his children he shouldn't get out for a long time.

I agree. They are horrifying and just bone chilling. She’s the victim. Not him.

You'd think so. Unless he gets the good ol' boy treatment because he's the king of Perth? I'd suggest it's unlikely but you never know.

The kids too. It must be awful for them seeing their old man in that sort of state,

I've said it before, the courts after looking dimly on Family Violence, and with him being a repeat offender its nitty looking good for him IMO.

Re: Ben Cousins again
A work colleague was in Perth for the interstate game drinking in a pub, looked over his shoulder and a hobo looking guy was sitting at a table having a beer, full beard scruffy hair, on his own , no one talking to him, one guess who it was.
I’m not sure he can ever recover, I wonder who gave him his first taste of drugs and how he was talked into it , because the warnings about drugs were definitely around when he got into them.
Bring back the biff

Re: Ben Cousins again
The issue with Cousins isn’t drugs, it’s Cousins and his *!*!*!*!ed up life and his *!*!*!*!ed up perspective on life.
The majority of people who enjoy drugs don’t end up like Ben Cousins, and never will.
The sooner we acknowledge that, the better.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Sure, I think most people agree.
It's possible to hold Ben responsible and also feel sympathy for him.
