Sad news overnight with Molly in hospital with head injuries from a fall at his Richmond pad, a true legend of the Music Industry and a generous ,nice bloke, grew up watching Countdown on a Sunday night, the show was about the only way of knowing what was happening in Australian music as a kid, all the best for a 100% recovery
Firstly of course I feel for the bloke but this incident has highlighted to me (not that it needed to) the superficial bull**** society we live in now. Is Molly falling of a bloody ladder, or down stairs really worthy of 1st story reporting on the major national news (even ABC) to the extent of having a live cross to someone outside the hospital who effectively said "yeah we know nothing"? Half the world is in the ****ter, the govt. is teetering on the brink of full blown farce and this is the number one story...I hold little hope for the future.
/of course I don't intend to cause offence by the above, just an observation.
I agree about the comment there more pertinent issues and i agree with weiry that all the talk of eurogeddon etc etc but here in a nation where some horse race stops a nation to have a Knockabout bloke like Molly and what has happened brings life back to a personal perspective that sometime we need to be in contact with a little more rather than being corporationalized all the time......... I made that word up but it works
For some reason I have a vision of Donnie Sutherland and Richard Wilkins rubbing their hands thinking - here's my big chance, while punching into their twitter accounts: #LoveYouMolly
Bulldog,
Do you remember Sounds - it was a really bad music show hosted by Donnie Sutherland in the 70's.
And stupid Richard Wilkins - he was this twatt who always used to turn up on TV talking about celebrities - like he knew something.
There are some other music aficionados making the rounds now, like that pillock - Glen A Baker - you must know that fat arsed authority on popular music who wears a Nepalese berret as his trademark. I hear him on the radio coming out with the most retarded nick nacks. He makes me want to smash my radio to little bits..
I think the point I was making was that who could ever replace him - if he goes?
you only watched the others because countdown wasn't on , another one was Hey Jude ..... wilkins hehehe
Do you remember how much faith Moll had about John Farnham .... then how Farnham came back ,,,, yeah I'm gettin old
There are two types of people I've come to understand: Real and Fake
Molly is real
No-one could ,,,,, to answer btw adolf.
He did the legwork for so many promoters , artist & managers , TV station managers , and the public of a music starved (want of better) country (at the era of Countdown) ...... yeah up there with the barry humphries',graham kennedys....
They are saying he fell off a 3 metre ladder but I have never seen stockings that long.
^^^ Yabulu Nickel Refinery
The boss (Clive Palmer) bought the place off BHPBilliton for a song when BHP could not make it profitable and were going to close the place. Since then he/we have turned things around and made good money in the first year (not so much now with low nickel prices). I think Clive likes to stick it up BHP by throwing the best parties ever from the profits of a plant that BHP were going to close.
As well as the party, he is paying for each of us to take our families out to dinner.
Last year he gave cars to some employees and holidays to the rest (5 nights in Fiji for everyone with >6 months service)

ps Sorry for the thread hijack 
Best wishes to Molly
All the best to him but could not help thinking about fairies falling out of christmas trees!
Molly is what he is! But for what I heard of him talking i can't remember bad mouthing anybody! Hope you will get better Molly!
sorry but i missed the part where he was more than a journalist/tv presenter and we should all be deeply concerned for his recovery .
where does my crack habit have any relevance to a tv presenter as that is basically what he is .
Never said i hoped he dropped dead but at a loss as to why everyone is showing such an outpouring of emotion for someone who simply presented a music show and pimped someone's cd on a variety show for a few years .
PS it's spelt you're . I might have a crack habit but at least i passed basic engrish
