Michael Gudinski sounds off at Face The Music
As we expected, Michael Gudinski has been the highlight of a very impressive lineup of speakers at today’s Face The Music. Below is a series of our favourite quotes from our favourite impresario. Enjoy!
On his secret to success: “Being my own boss. I’d have been fired a dozen times if I wasn’t.”
On Peter Garret: “What the fuck did Peter Garret do when he got into politics. Fucked up a great band and fucked up his life.”
On live music: “It’s a disgrace that there’s not an Australian band opening for every international band that comes to our shore.”
On the biggest problem in Australia music: “It’s the fucking government.”
On festival: “Festivals mean green grass.. Rapture with Eminem is coming up and its a concrete city. What the fuck is that?”
Gudinski about to premiere the new Dan Sultan clip. “You’re about to see what Mushroom can do.”
In summary: “Did I mention the government?”
