Review of Midnight Oil: 1984 (2018) by Lachlan H — 10 May 2018
The best line of the film comes from Michael Lippold, the band's stage manager when he says "They didn't do drugs, they didn't drink and they didn't whore around," he says bluntly with a quizzical look on his face. It's not what you would expect. Rather after a gig in a delightful moment you see Garrett and Hirst drinking tea.
This sums up the conundrum. A band of gifted men both musically and politically who captured the imaginations of Australia. God bless the Oils there is no one like them nor ever will be.
