"I came from a suburb called Slacks Creek in the city of
Brisbane and I lived on the wrong side of the highway...like most people
we were kind of poor and my big sister was sort of my best friend and
still is...but when she first got a car it was the best thing that ever
happened to me because it meant that we could escape. And we would
sit in that car and it was ugly! It was bright yellow. I
always have this joke about cars and you go into the showroom and you
say...
'Mmmm, I love it...but do
you have it in bright yellow?' |

Darren and Steve
sing 'Casey.' |
I
can't
imagine anyone ever wanting that
but this was called a Holden Kingswood and it was like the Griswold's car. And it had a rusty floor
bottom where you could see the street through it and it used to use up so
much gas. But when we
were in this she would take me down the
southeast freeway and we would go to the beach and we
would listen to the
radio and we didn't even have FM radio but we could hear my favorite songs
and we could hear music and I swear to God that was the moment I knew that I
wanted to sing for
the rest of my life. Because when I sang I felt free..."
