COUNTDOWN IS BACK THIS JANUARY, 2019 ... ON rage !!!!!
Stay tuned below with regular Countdown full archival information for each Countdown episode rage shall be airing every Saturday throughout January ...
Hi Luke, you don't work at rage do you? 
Haha...nope I'm just fortunate enough to genuinely enjoy all the '60s stuff (almost...but not quite) as much as the '70s & early '80s stuff. That being said...anything after about '86 is boring to me...and anything after '90 is as repulsive to me as it appears the '60s stuff was to many of the regulars here, which is a shame. But I also recognise that rage has an incredibly difficult job trying to please its broad demographic, and I happen to think they do an amazing job...just amazing ! 
Yes, that was unintentionally HILARIOUS!The poor guy was just so nervous and awkward.
Loved Dick's unconvincing comment at the end of the performance after he
tap-danced.."Maybe soft shoes are on the way back" or something similar.
Probably trying to make the poor guy feel a little better.[
Especially loved those two little kids with the squeaky voices. Adorable!!
The dorky, awkward dancing whilst the reporter was asking them questions was a classic...pure "Kath and Kel". [/quote]
Biggest WTF moment from Saturday night was some guy called Garry Cassica (?) doing a song called "Columbine". OMFG I had tears of laughter rolling down my face. The poor guy was obviously terrified and looked like a gay Thunderbird lol. Anyone know anything more about this chap ? Can't find a single reference to him on the interweb.
I obviously fast forwarded through that performance, and deleted it without watching. Anyone care to upload it to youtube
reporter: "it'll be on the ABC"
kid: "monday night...8.30 ?"
reporter: "yes"
kid: "awww...you bewdy"
Farken GOLD !!!! LOLOL
And then skipped away off camera , with a big dopey grin on his face..
Wasn't he brilliant!!
Yeah, that Rolf Harris comment was a classic as well.
That lead singer from Steppenwolf , John Kay, was a pretty cool, hip looking dude...

Hey Nathan...it's been uploaded to youtube (not by me) here:

Unfortunately the very awkward interviews before and after it aren't included here, which is a shame because they had to be seen to get the full idea of how seemingly scared this poor fella seemed to be. Good old Dick tried his best to put him at ease, but all I could think of was "deer in headlights"
LOL

Yep...loved him, literally laughed out loud when I saw him. Wonder where he is today...if he's still with us. Hope so, and hope he's had a good life. Wonder if he had any idea at all it was shown again...probably not. Bless his cotton socks

LOL Thanks for the link. Very interesting 'dancing'. He looks a bit stoned, too.Anyone care to upload the interview?
Well, a quick google (revealing only 13 search results when quotes are used around his name!) reveals that the b-side to 'Columbine' was 'Felicity Grey', and the catalogue number was SP-006 (Sweet Peach records, how fitting!)

The more I listen to that Steppenwolf song, the more I like it :
