The First Hour of The First Day On 2JJ (Double J) Sydney 19 January 2025

by Paul Cashmere

Double J was a Sydney only radio station when it first went to air at 11am on 19 January 1975. The first song played was Skyhooks ‘You Just Like Me ‘Cos I’m Good In Bed’ chosen because it was Australian, it was rebellious (because the song was banned at the time which reflected the rebellious image of the station) and being part of the ABC was not subject to the licencing laws of the commercial radio stations.

Dear Evan Hansen Is A Difficult Story Told Extremely Well

by Paul Cashmere

I haven’t see the movie ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ but reviews were not great and it was a box office failure. From what I read, nepotism in casting and a superficial interpretation of the original storyline meant the translation to movie missed the point. That said, the stage show hits the mark.
