Crowded House is a NEW ZEALAND band, NOT an AUSSIE band. You guys have enough brilliant musicians without having to claim ours! AND RUSSEL CROWE IS A KIWI TOO! Go on, call me a sheep shagger! I know you’re dying to! LOL xxxx
Neil Finn might be a Kiwi but there were two Aussies in the band!
Russell Crowe you can have.
With the death of Steve Prestwich just announced, memories of one of my best and closest friends from the old days, Les Kaczmarek, suddenly came flooding back.
I still miss you heaps ol’ buddy.
I guess it’s only a matter of time now, before I see you both again.
