I hope Hoodoo Gurus is not the lie, because I love them but don't see them mentioned much (I've seen them once, on one of their many 'seriously, this time we are retiring' tours).

Thanks for posting this, what a great interview. I saw one of the shows he is talking about (in Melbourne), and it really was an amazing experience - very emotional and involving. I actually teared up a little just now reading how much it meant to him.
