Why are we not satisfied to have our on people on show instead of trying to import washed up has-beens (example Meat Loaf) or people who should be in a mental institution (see link)?

What’s wrong with Paris? Don’t like anything that isn’t vanilla?

As for Meat Loaf (listen to Bat Out Of Hell Album)...that entire crap in the stands of the MCG...I don't know if I should laugh or cringe. |

Supercars understand this - which is why they enlist Cold Chisel for the NSW street event. Holden also saw fit to get Jimmy on board for their farewell party.
I understand where you're coming from, but look at the intended audience. How many people attend a Supercars event, and like Cold Chisel, AC/DC etc? What demographic goes to a glammed-up horse race? What are their tastes in music? The promoters are looking at what will give them a maximum return on investment - sometimes they get it right, other times not so much. But I'd be willing to bet their "advisors" did the research & worked out a short list of who they wanted, and I doubt any hard rock would be on there. Olivia & Farnham - fair enough, they would be quite appropriate for the target audience too - but if it was only aimed at Australia. The Melbourne Cup has many supporters/interested parties globally - particularly in the middle east, and some in the US too. They probably haven't heard of either. |

I am sick and tired of the tone of the ridiculous assumptions and claims you make time after time after time. Happy that I bit? **** off.
