61 and I still remember this. I was in a band in the States and we covered this. Knew exactly what they were singing about, too. Yet another western Native exploitation and land grabbing story. The song has a great beat and it really stood for something. It is so sad things are basically the same in every western new world country. This song calls attention to it in Australia.

❤ well it’s THANKful Day Nov 28th 2024 boat, life, music on the canals, burning the midnight oil… With Heidi, the rum wench who I love to watch… And she has befriended Peter Gifford…Giffo! Right now she’s playing the accordion and he’s playing the guitar. (One of the many narrowboat shows I love to watch)It’s their last night before he goes back to Australia so he’s a narrow boater in the UK half of the year and the other half back home in Aussyland. So I thought I would look up INXS/midnight oil I did see INXS back in 88 when they came to Portland, Oregon, but I’ve never seen Midnight Oil but I’ve heard their songs many many times I mean Peter being only a year older than me it was my music…

Half of the Ngukurr mission people left town in 4WD's during the wet season to see them perform at Numbulwar (Rose River Mission). they made a big impact on Aboriginal communities right across Australia. Still a great band. cheers all!

"Beds Are Burning" is a 1987 song by the Australian rock band Midnight Oil, the first track from their album Diesel and Dust. This song was released as the second single from the album. It reached No. 1 in New Zealand, South Africa and Canada, No. 3 in the Netherlands, No. 5 in France, No. 6 in the United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland, No. 17 in the United States and Sweden. It is one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll and it was named number 95 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s and number 97 by the Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time in 2009. In May 2001, Australasian Performing Right Association celebrated its 75th anniversary by naming the Best Australian Songs of all time, as decided by a 100 strong industry panel. "Beds Are Burning" was declared third behind the Easybeats' "Friday on My Mind" and Daddy Cool's "Eagle Rock"

Once course of history would be required to earn a GED. Ignorance and delusion are quite a combination Mark. Australia was a prison colony. And the thousands of tribes living and fighting in America long ago were cutting each other's hearts out, eating the organs, sacrificing animals to their respective idols, and kidnapping each other and their children, while also fighting the Spanish, The Mexicans, The French, the Portuguese, and the British who wanted the Country for themselves. Please don't talk about things you have no knowledge of other than what your own uncontrolled emotions drive you to imagine.
