Have you seen the Aussies perform their anthem ... they have ballerinas, tin
soldiers, brass bands, rock bands, national pop stars, sports stars,
kangaroos, wallabies ... and the latest addition .... aborigines playing
didgeridoo's to show the world they care. The local discount outlets must do
a roaring trade in plastic buckets to catch all the tears that get shed at
each anthem rendition. Hope the IOC have the clampers on how long an anthem
can go on for once the games atart otherwise it will be all fists on hearts
for 15 minutes for a 2 odd minute race.
