#Countdown50
Pues solamente quedan diez días. He dormido 5 horas después de una noche fantástica. He excursionado con los chavalines, nah, 14 km, y tarde de sofá y relax. Pues no está mal. #countdown50

An even better tribute for #Countdown50 would have been to promote bands that don't have a spotlight yet. That was always the point of Countdown and Molly's mission statement.
The ABC could have done everyone a favour

Just re-watched the #Countdown50 special on ABC iview and it actually brought me to tears. 😂 Such a music nerd. I wasn't even around yet when Countdown was on TV. It was so good though. iview.abc.net.au/show/countdo...

Disappointed with #Countdown50. A clip show dispersed with memories and commentaries is all we needed.

Watched a bit of the #Countdown50 - a bit meh. But got me reminiscing about so many amazing gigs.

Here’s a pic of mine from the incredible Grace Jones show at Thebarton theatre
- last century.
Youthful artyness 😂

If ya reckon #Countdown50 is a banger, wait til you get a load of #Rage ! Spectacular. Full Molly i/vs. just picked my jaw up from the floor seeing him i/v the lead singer of Generation X, punk band. "I don't know your name" says Mol. "My name's Billy", replies Billy Idol...

#PublicImage still holds up today.
I'm not the same as when I began, that is universal and timeless.

Metal Box is one of the great albums and it went down for #PiL after this release, but what a highlight. #watchingrage #Countdown50

Like I said about Molly and punk, he never got it. Lydon wasn't having this line of questioning and refusing to ask about PiL

Wobble and Levene made PiL what it was and took Lydon to new levels #watchingrage #Countdown50

Hahaha ... Countdown just made me get up and attempt to dance. I remember going to dance classes in the 70s to Hit and Run 😆
Oh ... man ... more great memories!
Howzat!

Essay question- Much of Countdown was twee dross, particularly in the 70s but unearthed a few gems. Discuss. Papers on my desk by 5pm next Friday. #watchingrage #countdown50

Imagining Louis Theroux doing this interview with two members of the Sex Pistols back in 1977 (with Molly Meldrum) and I reckon the questions and responses would be just the same. #watchingrage #Countdown50
