Blah-Blah Bar / Re: KAYO
Having huge problems trying to connect to Kayo.  Website says I don't have authority to access the server...  Called Kayo who say its a Telstra problem with our router.  Called Telstra who reckon its a Kayo problem...  Have rebooted everything back to factory setup etc.
 Wasted so much time on this.  Any thoughts from our tech heads here?

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Pre-Game 2021 AFL Rnd 1: Richmond vs Carlton.
If McGovern can't play against Richmond, I'm happy to take his place in the team.  I guarantee I won't get a kick, won't take a mark, but will make myself available to high five all the other players after each score.  Selfless, I know...

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: The Music Thread
Hope you don't mind me adding to this thread...
I have written a couple of books on music & Australian pop culture.  If you like this stuff, they are worth checking out.
"For The Record Vol 1: Australian Pop Culture 1964-2017" was written using the notes I used to build Australia's biggest syndicated radio show "My Generation" hosted by Jono Coleman.  Everything from music, movies, TV shows to who sang at the Grand Final each year is here...!!
"For The Record Vol 2: Classic Hits & Urban Myths" is music trivia based on the uncredited superstars who appear on other star's hits.  Over 700 artists and nearly 3000 stories.

Blah-Blah Bar / Re: Vale Eddie Van Halen
Very few musicians actually change rock music forever - Eddie did... The sounds and guitar tones he created, rebooted rock music from Van Halen's first single "You Really Got Me" - has there ever been a better cover version of a song?  Kiss' Gene Simmons discovered Van Halen and produced their demo to score their first record contract.  Eddie went on to play the solo on Michael Jackson's "Beat It" (in two takes) and was uncredited on Nicolette Larsen's debut album (much to David Lee Roth's annoyance).  Eddie had been suffering from throat cancer for ten years.
