"A dirty little rag with filth in it": Australian Oz, 1963-66"
at Milesago excellent info from Milesago who's Aus music heritage knowledge is awesome! Cruel but fair representation of Australia in 1960.
"Oz had two 'lives',
one in Australia and one in Britian, and both versions were dogged by
controversy, attacked by the Establishment and embroiled in famous legal
battles,
"Bleak and Conservative" is used to describe Richard Nevilles Australian environment. Far out! What about today? (Just back from a Perth winter) - it's that bleak it makes Cairns look like the mythical land of dreams. The Emerald City Environment
UWA Library -"The London editions of Oz magazine (1967-1973) are held on
microfiche in the Microform Collection. They are part of the Harvester
Press ection of the underground and alternative press in Britain."
Well I'll be a monkey's uncle... Check this out -it's our old mates up the road...
The Bloggs... this gets to the point... "- Today in
the West we worry about the security of our bank balance, while two thirds of
the world worries about its next meal. The blame for the ever widening global
wealth gap is often pinned on the poorer nations for being inefficient and/or
corrupt, with a barely a mention of the decades of pillaging by colonial
powers. The prosperity of the West is built on theft and slaughter; later
re-packaged as a Boys Own Adventure."
