Enter the ska (Vol.3, 1982)

I find out what the hell ska is... 

This episode we have more Mick Jagger dreams, in which Mum introduces him as ‘Michael’(they’re on a first name basis), goes to see Strange Tenants – her first ska band at The Aberdeen in North Fitzroy – and finally manages to find those goddamn Kafka books!

We then read about Mum’s recurring dream from childhood of being the plump fairy from The Flintstones, getting ready for her driving test which is in 16 days (!), finding out that Jubilee is available on VHS, still slogging away to finish Light in August. Then there’s the perfect chenille bedspread jacket for only $28, getting paid $9 for babysitting AND we read all about Cold Chisel playing at the Queen’s College Ball and Sue and Keith getting up on stage with Jimmy Barnes to sing Choir Girl with him. Meanwhile, Mum’s at home watching Don’s Party and writing a poem called ‘Far Out Pink Salmon Trout’!

As always, press play for part therapy, part entertainment, oversharing guaranteed...
