Australia, duck!!

 Incoming: "Bruce Springsteen: I'll be 'on the next plane' to Australia if Trump wins".

Don't let the doorknob to the Qantas VIP lounge at the Tom Bradley International Airport hit you in the a$$ on the way out, you overrated warbler.

  1. If he thinks being named 'Bruce' gives him a pass here, he's in for a big surprise.

  2. Haha! I wonder if he's bought a place at Noosa like a lot of stars do. Noosa News thinks so. We'll be glad to take his money.

    Just beware of the stonefish Bruce, 'most venemous of all fish'!

  4. That's quite a threat.
    It's a good thing Aussies can't vote in our elections.

  5. Geez! You guys have stinging trees?

    Hmmm. Can they be trained as bonsai? Maybe a small potted tree for your new permanent guest...

  6. Who's he taking with him? What other loud mouths a making the pledge? They're as sincere as Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee who stated they were considering voting for Amy Coney Barrett.

  7. Should be interesting hearing him do a raspy-voiced version of Waltzing Matilda at his first concert in Victoria.

  8. I meant, specifically, Melbourne.

  9. Waltzing Matilda is about freedom from government ('troopers'). Citizens (or inmates?) of Melbourne Victoria have forgotten the Eureka Rebellion when they rose up against tyrants and their armies. I think Waltzing Matilda is disappearing down the memory hole. That was what you meant right?

    New Zealand just gave Jacinda a landslide endorsement too (a similar place to Melbourne in some ways) supposedly because she protected them from Wuhan virus, when it was probably just their geographic isolation, and they benefit from Australia the way Canada benefits from the USA.

  10. That was what you meant right?

    Actually, it's just that it's the only specifically Australian song I know of (well, that and "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport").

    Raspy-voiced Waltzing Matilda? Springsteen? Bah, try Tom Waits' version.
