Coo. Off to Oz, eh? Our soundman, Paul Streekstra, got punched out by the speed-crazed Australian roadies in Noosa Heads when he refused to help load in the bass bins. Dear old Lew Pryme - the writer of this column - was a promoter and club-owner who was also chief executive of the Auckland Rugby Union, an institution about as macho as it gets. The other meatheads on the board had no idea he was gay until he died of AIDS in the mid-90s.
