2020 Vision and Walking Around Blind
Jimmy Martin a member of the Sneedville branch of the NSW Labor Party has dedicated this little ditty to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. He is very upset about recent events. You can download the mp3 file and hear his haunting song.
Jimmy joined the Labor Party in 1933. He has always stuck to his principles. He says: "I place great hope in Kevin Rudd. But how can you hope to have a 2020 summit when the whole structure of Labor is out of date. How can you hope to govern with honesty when the whole structure of the party is so undemocratic".
Jimmy sings hauntingly:
"I've been to the doctor he says I'm allright
I know he's lyin, I'm losin my sight
He should have examined the eyes of my mind,
2020 Vision and walkin round blind"
He pines for the NSW Labor Party as it once was and just can't believe how much things have changed.
"You couldn't know her the way that I do
You say that she's wicked and maybe its true"
"I've lost her I've lost her oh what will I do
2020 Vision and walking round blind".
You have to hear Joe sing it to really understand! Download the file as an .mp3 and play it back on Windows Media Player or equivalent. Apparently the song has become a hit throughout the Illawarra and South Coast of NSW and is even starting to be played on commercial radio!
Special thanks to BD and his colleagues in the Abernathy Building for bringing Jimmy to my attention at such an important point in the history of NSW politics!
