@Andrew_McMillen @australian You are a great interviewer mate makes our job easy brother 🖐🏽

My all-time favorite quote about editors and writers: "A writer is a guy in the hospital wearing one of those gowns that’s open in the back. An editor is walking behind, making sure that nobody can see his ass." cjr.org/special_report…
Devastating loss. Wayne Smith was a lion of journalism and a top fella. A testament to his fun and kindness as a colleague is the effort the young ones in the office put into producing this video for his retirement from The @australian two years ago. youtube.com/watch?v=z1WdFz…
Still processing this awful news. Wayne was truly one of a kind. One of the best journalists I ever met and somebody I was privileged to work with. Thoughts with his family. theaustralian.com.au/sport/giant-of…
Every journalist: This lil piece is taking forever but it WILL be a masterpiece…send hugs :/ Finished article: Even the mere amazing flavor of the tantalizing food, entices one to eat it. And believe it or not, that delicious journey from plate to mouth, is only the beginning.
@Andrew_McMillen @australian @QMusicNetwork @QldMusicAwards Thanks Andrew for the unmasking. It was a significant chat we had. I did speak directly from my gut and that was well received.
@jonnoseidler @Andrew_McMillen @BernardZuel Worked with Andrew Mac. A very keen young writer who is very enthusiastic about Australian music.
Unsung hero of this story is @Andrew_McMillen who both commissions and scrupulously edits multiple reviews a week across the genre spectrum - in this fkn climate. Lucky to have worked w/ both him & @BernardZuel. Give the dude his flowers. themusic.com.au/features/the-d…

Today I completed my 36 sessions of cardiac rehab. Melanie and Sarah, who run the program at St. Rose San Martin, presented me with this diploma. I will miss them; they are kind and funny and strict. But I guess I need to do justice to their excellent work by living well.
I spoke to Andrew for this amazing piece, one of the best things ever written on Tommy.
Today in The @australian, I speak with guitarist Tommy Emmanuel about concentration, grit, persistence, addiction, family tragedy, surrender, mastery, recovery and relief. ~14 minute read: theaustralian.com.au/arts/review/to… 📷 by Simone Cecchetti @tommyemmanuel @simonececchetti
There is a trend in the self-help community to condemn New Year’s resolutions, to say they don’t “work.” I believe it is always good to reflect on, revise and renew our commitments to ourself. Whether that happens on Jan 1 or throughout the year. And this is what I’m doing 👇🏼
@Andrew_McMillen @DUALIPA @KingStingray2 @nickcave @australian Had my musician son flummoxed yesterday when King Stingray came on radio and he’d never heard of them. I had to explain they were like an indigenous surf band and the next big thing. Old duffer 1 - millennial 0. 🤣
6/6 Then I decided to fight back with a new life mission and goal: To set everything right. To pay everyone back. I am more motivated than ever, certainly much wiser and I hope, a better person (although that remains an ongoing mission). The next chapter will be interesting.
