Hi', to readers of Aus Music.  How are you?  Did anyone catch up with the
"Rage/CountDown" symalcast on the weekend?  If you did, you'll agree with me
that it's a great thing that Aus music has progressed since those days.  I
stayed up most of Saturday morning for the first three episodes which were
shown.  Although the seventies were dominated by teeny bopper groups like
Sherbet and Sky Hooks, one could only conclude after watching those shows
that Vander & Young were the 'seventies.'  They helped the careers of such
people as John/Paul Young, Stevie Right and (of all people(, William
Shakespeare.  I wish that some radio station in this country could do a
special on Vander & Young some day.  Of course, "CountDown", owed its
success to Ian Molly Meldrum.  However, I understand that it is a part of
his life that he's trying very hard to forget about.  I only tuned into the
first of Sunday morning's programmes which was the tenth anniversary
"CountDown" special.  I wasn't really that keen on the eighties shows.  I
would value your thoughts on how you feel "CountDown" could assist the Aus
music industry if it was revived today.  (Heaven help us).  (Grin).  Bye For
Now, Adrian Mathew.
