Transcript
00:00Jim swore he would leave the band if we ever did the song. He hated it.
00:12Jim used to wear the kangaroo suit or a fruit suit.
00:16I guess I enjoyed it at the time, but in retrospect, I think people don't remember me for the music.
00:23They just remember me as the bloke dressed up as a kangaroo.
00:30Rangarada Wahine, Jim's least favourite and Mick's masterpiece.
00:44I think the band spent a lot of time trying to work out the dynamics between Mick and Jim
00:51because Mick always wanted to be vaudeville and Jim always wanted to be the blues.
00:56Jim's a perfectionist. Jim gets really annoyed when Mick does things in a slightly haphazard way,
01:02and I think Mick gets really irritated with Jim's pernickety-ness on different things.
01:07But, you know, at the end of the day, they are very close, yeah, even though they do drive each other up the wall.
01:14We kind of took things to extremes.
01:17I'm a Miranda. This is what you make me do.
01:23There's always a love-hate relationship with novelty music and silly buggers.
01:27I could see the fun of it, but my heart was not in that.
01:30It was always a source of tension between us, and at certain points I think I probably did go over the top.
01:36It was said that Conway Brothers have made sibling rivalry an art form.
01:43Ladies and gentlemen, the Conway Brothers.
01:45You know what brothers are like. Sibling rivalry.
01:48They used to argue about what song this was going to get done.
01:51Their banter playing off each other in musical terms and in just having a go at each other through the whole show
01:59was always amusing, sometimes terrifying.
02:05Mick's stronger vision, which I now begin to understand, I was inhibiting.
02:11And so at the end of the day, I had to go my own way because I loved the bluesy style.
02:17I wanted to stay with blues.
02:22Jim was known as the best harmonica player in Australia.
02:26Jim was the magic element of the Backsliders, and everything that he was frustrated with me for was in the Backsliders,
02:37and that was his forte.
02:39Great experience to see him play.
02:41It brought me to tears a number of times.
02:43My brother was playing in the Backsliders, and now I had a chance to form a band that could do all that vaudeville stuff,
02:51and I didn't have that tension with Jim.
02:54All aboard the planet's Titanic.
