Back Deck Rehearsal

this song was written on the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, when it was becoming popular with tourists & mutant wildlife. Now this unstable nuclear zone is in a war zone & Russians want it back. Ironically, Australia's nuclear test sites have been handed back to it's indigenous peoples while Apache & Navajo populations in New Mexico's nuclear test sites remain untested for health, especially in at the Trinity Site the Jornada del Muerto (Journey of Death) Valley. Voice your opposition to weapons of mass destruction including nuclear waste.

so, maybe less fracking damage at last! "i've fracked everywhere" was meant to be cynical, not actual & apparently new government has cancelled some pipelines. ecological sanity. better late than never.
"Queen Barangaroo" is topical too. That proud & noble indigenous queen of Sydney Harbour would enjoy the fact that the mega casino has been deemed unfit for licence due to money laundering & corruption.
'Take me back to Chernobyl" is gonna be relevant for next 10,000 or more years after we stop generating plutonium.
now you're ready for an oldy from Back Deck- "Bullshit Blues"
Greatest pandemic the world's ever seen.
if you haven't been affected you're livin' in a dream...
bullshit ... bullshit blues
is anybody safe from the bullshit blues?

Hope you enjoy this live footage from the vault...an old vid from an aboriginal Rainbow Corroboree in Australia. If you look closely you'll see the giant green cricket land on Niki's hat. (expired link)
