Aussie politician proves he's still a rock star

Australian politician Peter Garrett proved he was still a rock star under the suit when he reunited with his band Midnight Oil, and some commentators on Friday said he showed more passion on stage than in Parliament. Any notion that the former activist singer, and now Australia's Environment Minister, would avoid politically charged songs was blown away as his band performed one of two warm-up gigs ahead of a weekend benefit concert for bushfire victims. In front of a sold-out crowd of 3,000, Midnight Oil kicked off with "Redneck Wonderland" and went on to perform the anti-mining "Blue Sky Mine" and anti-war and anti-establishment songs "When the Generals Talk" and "Read About It."
