Greg Ham RIP

There goes any hopes of a Men at Work reunion, even thought I don't think Colin Hay would have gone for that anyway.  Greg Ham the eccentric flute and sax player from the band from down under had died.  Most recently, a publishing company has sued the band saying that the famous flute riff from Down Under was stolen from an old Australian folk song.  Colin mentioned this at his last concert, but then played the song sans the riff.  News reports say he was very upset and felt personally to blame about the plagiarism of the riff.  I have listened to both and don't think they sound the same, it's sort of like George Harrison's My Sweet Lord debacle.  I'm going to see Colin Hay in a two weeks, he has written some nice things about his former band mate.  Men at Work unfortunately didn't have the staying power, but 35 years on, their songs are still great to listen to.
