Found out today Ollie Olsen died last week, only 66. - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/oct/17/ian-ollie-olsen-death-age-66-australian-musician

Name probably doesn't mean much to most of you but the film Dogs In Space had a fair old influence on me when I was a younger, under the influence musician.

A lot of the songs performed in it were written and performed but never recorded by his bands and their contemporaries from the late 70s, early 80s.

 

Some of you might remember Max Q, which was a band he formed with Michael Hutchence and a percussionist by the name of John Murphy, who I knew from bands around Sydney, CM died in 2015, so that's all three of them gone.

Ollie also he wrote the only solo release Hutchence did called Rooms for the Memories. Anyway RIP OO.

Thatcher gave UK athletes the choice as to whether they went to the Moscow Olympics in 1980 (the yanks called for a boycott due to the recent invasion of Afghanistan) all apart from dear old Geoff Capes. As a serving police officer the fuckin rancid old bitch prevented him from attending or he’d lose his job. So I always felt a bit sorry for the cunt, even though ACAB, obvs :cuppa:

One of the few celebrities I met as a kid, on Tobermory when he was doing the Highland games. Got his signature, lost it now. Seemed a canny bloke for a Bluto lookalike. Much nicer than that Sigmarsson cunt. RIP big man, assumed you had left us long ago tbh.

He would have been glowing with all the steroids he took.

Surprised at this- I thought he must’ve shuffled years ago. 

 

Tarzan and Doc Savage is what I can remember him in.
