Aussies tend to not like 'music executives/companies or being told what to do' lmao....... so they stay home with their families and fans........ John Farnham is literally called 'the Voice' by people like Tom Jones and Celine Dion.... but he refused to go to the USA.... wanted to stay home instead....... Cold Chisel were the same :D x
@@noone6559 jimmy had to move to Europe for a few years because the record company was ripping him off and not giving him access to his own music , same wit Daryl Braithwaite
@@lillibitjohnson7293 Thanks for clarifying that...... like I said.... the music companies/managers are scum... and a lot of our Aussie artists have no time for them :) x
Cold Chisel is one of the most popular bands of all time in Australia. Peaked in the 80s but still hugely popular. The main singer for most of their songs is the 2nd singer in this song.
Never heard of them, rock n roll blues!! Their awesome so many different sounds. Love the singer and his wailing vocals!! Totally Awesome!! Thank You Rory and the person that requested this SOOO ROCKIN!! đđđ€âïžđ„
One of the best Aussie bands EVERâ€â€â€ Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, Ian Moss. I grew up listening to these guys. I was in high school in the 70's, when Aussie bands RULED. Brings back SO many memories †Khe Sahn, Breakfast at Sweethearts, too many songs to list. Jimmy Barnes is a friggin' LEGEND and is still performing (he actually emigrated from Scotland) Get into it....Cold Chisel LEGENDS in their own lifetime, friggin' AWESOME!!!â€â€â€â€â€đđđđđČđđČđđČđđČđđČâ€â€
Ok, yes the song was fire, but did you not hear the world's best harmonica player, the great David Blight. I don't understand how can anyone can annalise Cold Chisel's magnificent performance without mentioning David's incredible talent.
Mate, great reaction. So glad you like Chisel. Check out 'When the War is Over' from the same concert (Ringside). Ian Moss (the guitarist) also does a magic version of Georgia on My Mind. Welcome to the world of Chisel!!!!
Chisel went to the States and didn't appreciate the US music corporates came back home and wrote a response "you got nothing l want Cold Chisel " Australia fuken loved it đ
Such a great version of Bow River. The version of âWhen the War is Overâ that they did in the same concert is great. Theyâve got so many bangers. Fantastic catalogue.
There goes another one down the Cold Chisel rabbit holeđ. Rory I look forward to the many reactions to Cold Chisel that you will now embark on. Iâm not going to suggest any songs because they are all bloody belters.
So excited to see another great reactor discover Australiaâs favourite rock band. Jimmy Barnes who sang at the end usually leads. Ian Moss, lead guitarist wrote this song and sang most of it. Their style changed over the years but theyâve done everything from rock and soul to blues.
Lots of great songs from Chisel: Flame trees, forever now, when the war is over, khe sanh, you got nothing i want, cheap wine, lots of others. The guitarist is Ian Moss. This is âhisâ song so he leads the singing but Jimmy Barnes is the usual lead singer.
This is Aussie Pub Rock at its finest. Iâve been lucky enough to to see chisel live. They are all fine musicians. 2 vocalists. And yeah there are lots for you to listen to , they were very prolific.
Ian Moss is the guitar player and sings quite a few of their songs he had a career after cold chisel. Jimmy Barnes is the main singer and had a career afterwards. They were the wild child band of Aus from 70âs -80âs. When the war
Hi Rory. Welcome to Oz Music. This is still played on the radio here, all these years later. Being isolated, Australia has a brilliant home grown music history. The first singer/guitarist is Ian Moss, the second singer is Jimmy Barnes (he is the main singer of the band). But note everyone in the band song harmonies. Oh, and the harmonica player! He is not part of the band, but boy does he go off!! And yes, that driving bass. Glad someone got you to listen to them. They had a great song called You Got Nothing I Want. It's about them going to the US and the record label execs telling them ok, yes, but you need to dress this way, you need to do this sort of music. They basically told them to piss off and came back to Australia!
It's such a buzz watching people around the world discovering some of the extraordinary bands we here in Australia grew up with just enjoying as a part of our musical landscape and thinking no more deeply about it. We loved them but with a closeness of those we know well. I sometimes envy those who are blown away with their first experience, but I'm often so happy I've known them all my life. But, thank you to reactors like yourself, Rory for allowing me a new way to smile at music we here in Australia are all very proud of. L
Hi, how precise and close to a sentimental joy of tunes provided by these blokes as a rock n roll band. Quality is their hallmark and cheers from an old bloke.
Mate, I'm subscribing, because seeing your awe and joy at discovering one of Cold Chisels classics.... where it's not the main singer Jimmy Barnes starting off, but the lead guitarist Ian Moss, a vocalist and songwriter in his own right.... and then that freaking amazing harmonica player..... truly...... I would not trade my music history since I was born (1968) for ANY other countries music :D x
The guitar player (and singer for this song) is Ian Moss. Great player. Very tasteful, bluesy playing...always puts the song first. Though, like the band, not really known outside Australia, unfortunately. Its worth checking out more of their stuff. Really good songs and great musicians.
this song is đ„đ„đ„ this band is đ„đ„đ„ This song was written by the guitar player Ian Moss other members of the band Jimmy Barnes - Vocals Phil Small - Bass Don Walker - Keyboards Steve Prestwich - Drums with special guest Dave Blight on Harp
I am a Cold Chisel fan. Here is a (relatively) brief synopsis: Cold Chisel were/are one of Australiaâs greatest rock nâ roll bands. Their energetic live performances captivated audiences across Australia, as did numerous songs that are now burned into the hearts of many Australians. Contemporaries of AC/DC, and a product of the same tough pub rock scene, âChiselâ formed in Adelaide in 1973, moved to Sydney in 1976, released their first album in 1978, and had disbanded by the end of 1983. The most famous lineup of the band included Jimmy Barnes (lead singer), Ian Moss (lead guitar & vocals), Don Walker (keyboards & main songwriter), Phil Small (bass) & Steve Prestwich (drums). With many guest appearances by David Blight on harmonica, and a few others. After their breakup, Jimmy Barnes began an extremely successful solo career which continues to this day. Despite breaking up in 1983, Cold Chisel have enjoyed reforming for studio albums (and tours) in 1998, 2012, 2015, 2019, and there have been numerous other releases. Sadly, drummer Steve Prestwich passed away in 2011. He was replaced by Charley Drayton. There is much more to say about Cold Chiselâs songs, their performances, the members of the band, their missed opportunities for overseas recognition etc., but I will leave that for others.
What a Killer band...Chisel were a major pub band in their early days late 70's and 80's in Sydney. So many 'tear it up' Saturday nights seeing them live.
You want to see them at their best? Watch "Wild Thing", their live version of the Troggs song. I promise you'll never be the same again. Best band in the Australia.
Cold Chisel are legendary on Australia. Every member of the band can sing, every member has written hit songs. This one was actually written by the guitarist Ian Moss which is why he gets the lead on this song. He takes the lead on quite a few of their songs. He was actually the original lead singer of the band until Jimmy, the second one to sing, joined the band and became the regular lead. Their voices just go together so well. Ian smooth tones irons out the rough edges of Jimmy's voice. You'll love their performance of Wild Thing from the Last Stand Concert .
Baby boomer here, born in 1960 in Melbourne. The best music was here in Aussie pubs every weekend. Biggest decision was which pub to see which band. We were so spoilt for choice every single weekend. Being single, no responsibilities and free, it was a brilliant time to be alive in Melbourne. The music of my life with so many great memories! We were so lucky and we knew it!!!
not just melbourne - sydney was the place to be in in the 80s - the pub scene was amazing and australia was definately the king of music worldwide in the 80s
@@bodybalanceU2 Iâm sure it was just as good. I can only speak for Melbourne though as I didnât do it anywhere else, except the Great Ocean Road at Lorne (which was a wild New Years Eve 1984) and Torquay.
@@bodybalanceU2I got to see AC/DC live so many times with the brilliant Bon Scott as a teenager in the 70âs and they were freaking amazing even then. Never have wanted to see them since he died, he will always be their frontman to me. And the bigger bands just travelled between Melbourne and Sydney. But you would have had your local bands as we did here, which were also brilliant. Aussie pub rock in general cannot be beaten. We were all just so lucky!! Best wishes
Australia was the best place to be for music back in the day, we got the best from all over the world, plus our own music that few people got to hear, oh and the weather of course.
Had to re-watch this reaction because I've seen everyone who's reacted to this, and your excitement is tangible and contagious đ. Because i love this band and Jimmy, seeing you love it was awesome.
That performance is a 10. As said below Wild Thing (Troggs) live takes performance and song to 13..... From Last Stand concert. Guaranteed 100 percent enjoyable from the band's younger days.
Ok...just watched this again because I was too busy commenting last timeđ I don't often like reaction videos but your face mate...priceless.đđIt's about the same as everyone's who knows this song when it starts playing...except we all know the words!!đđđ All of us that love 'Chisel' get into it. Brings chills. Jimmy (the second singer, usually the lead singer) is pushing 70 now and still rockin', Ian Moss. (the guitarist) has got to be around the same age. This is definately an older clip, Jimmy has cut his curls off! Far out he was friggin' sexy, with his bad boy, working class looks, his curls and antics!!!!đđ I think 'Choir Girl' was their breaking song here in Oz, correct me if I'm wrong, I was only in high school, about 14! And you only have to say JIMMAAAAAAY and those who know, will know who you're talking about!đ Still rock to Chisel and now I'm 61!!! Thanks for the memories...AWESOME. Friggin' LEGENDS and your face says it allâ€â€â€â€đđđđđČđđČđđČđđČ
Jimmy Barns is the main lead singer (rougher voice, mike shoved down the front of his jeans). Ian Moss is the second lead singer (on guitar). This bands been rocking Australia for decades. Both have their own careers as well. Since you liked this, try Jimmy's duo with John Farnham (When something is wrong with my Baby) and his duo with Joe Bonamassa (Stone Cold). As with most Aussies singers, live performances are usually better.
Welcome to Cold Chisell, a very deep rabbit hole. The guitarist and 2nd lead singer has his own career and is well respected in the music industry across many genres as a guitarist and as a vocalist. The lead singer , Jimmy Barnes , was Australiaâs biggest act, and is still performing full voice to packed houses...... has his own bottomless rabbit hole. Try his duet with Tina Turner..... Simply The Best. Then his live in the studio Stone Cold with guitar legend Joe Bonamassa. Then his bluesy soul duet with John Farnham..... When Something is Wrong With My Baby. Farnham is another rabbit hole. Those who donât believe Barnsey is Australiaâs greatest ever singer believe Farnham is the best singer ever.....worldwide.
I was blessed to be a kid of the 80s and I grew up with this music. Here in Australia itâs calls pub rock and every good pub had live music every Thursday Friday and Saturday. This band cold chisel was the very first concert I ever went to when I was 14.
This band played my school social (formal) in Adelaide, South Australia đŠđș back in the 70s. A year or so later they didnât need to play school socials. Band lineupâŠâŠ.. Ian Moss (Guitar/Vocals), Jimmy Barnes (Vocals), Phil Small (Bass), Steve Prestwich (drums/percussion), Don Walker (Keyboards), David Blight(harmonica)âŠâŠ. Songs were written by Ian Moss, Don Walker, Jimmy Barnes and (the late) Steve PrestwichâŠâŠ. Super talented band !!!
Best Aussie rock band. Huge and eclectic array of songs. First saw them in 1980 in Sydney and many many times in pub venues across the city and suburbs. Two front singers though Jimmy Barnes is the main lead. In Bow River it's Ian Moss with Jimmy backing him. Awesome concert. Check out Ian Moss's version of Georgia. Epic.
Absolutely love this version & yes for the guitar & vocals. But the highlight for me in this performance was the Harmonica player, I think he held the whole song together đ
I've got one that will kick the shit out of you. You know "Lose Yourself', Eminem, a giant song from a giant performer. A tiny Australian country singer, Kasey Chambers, has hijacked that song. It's her song now. First, know the words, that's important, the lyrics are huge. Relax yourself for a gentle banjo, then listen in wonder as she changes the song, it's no longer country...... A few minutes in, strap yourself in, I mean, brace yourself.....just hold on. Rocket time! Is it bigger than this song, "Bow River"? Maybe........
Holly crap bloke, I wasnât going to check that out as I am not the biggest country, nor Eminem fan. That has got to go down as one of the greatest performances I have ever seen, and perhaps the best cover ever made. Thanks for sharing.
â@@cjjoe2385 you, sir, are 100% correct. I hope you got the 'live at Newcastle" version. It deserves to be the biggest song in the world this year. Funny thing is; yes, "Bow River" deceives to begin, but NOTHING deceives as much as "Lose Yourself" with Kasey Chambers! If you want a list of Australian artists as good as this, but you've never heard of them, let me know. A few to begin. The world's first heavy music, blowing ear drums from around 1963, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs "Mama Live At GTK" is probs the best live version. I mean, 1960's, seriously? You also probs should know this. If musos aren't good live in Aus, they're not gunna get recorded. They spend years in bloodbath pubs to get this good. Now turn 180 degrees, the tall blonde goddess, Delta Goodrem, singing with the tiny blind Aboriginal, Gurrumul live on The Voice Australia, singing "Bayini" in his language. Tissue required. Back to live rock, try Baby Animals with the oh so attractive Suzie De Marchi out front singing "Backbone" live. Let me know.
64 old Aussie here. Like AC đđDC then listen to these blokes. Listening to what Aussies call a legend of a band for the 1st time is new. Hope you enjoy it.
I love watching these reactions to our Chisel's Bow River. I just smile and keeping thinking "Wait for it... Wait for it.... There you go!" Headbanging time!
Aussie pub rock, play and sing so well, the drunks don't run you out. These guys are the best. After the US record execs messed them around, they came home and Jimmy Barnes, Barnsey wrote, You got Nothin' I Want. Listen to Saturday night for Ian Moss, Mossy. Later on try Barnsey and Farnsey, John Farnham, doing a bluesy Sam and Dave song, When Something is Wrong With my Baby. The best one is on a well loved tv show, called Hey, Hey, It's Saturday, but they may block you, the official clip is good, the guitarist is Diesel, Barnsey's Bro-in-Law. Recently Barnsey put out a 30 year anniversary album called Soul Deep, with among the extra's, Soothe Me, with Sam Moore from Sam and Dave, In his 90's still got it.
Just saw a sneak preview to Farnsey's movie on CZcams, John Farnham: Finding the Voice, out on May 18, in the cinemas. Barnsey does a bit of recollecting of John Farnham in it. They were fantastic together.. Hahaha.... I still remember John Farnham singing 'Sadie', the cleaning lady đđđ he's come a long way since then, he was Johnny Farnham back then, too!!! Oh god, I'm really showing my age nowđđđâ€ïžđđČđđČ
Ian Moss guitar vocals Jimmy Barnes vocals Don Walker keyboard Phil Small bass and the now deceased Steve Prestwich on drums. Dave Blight on the harp played many live shows with chisel
Cold Chisel were contrasing hard and soft vocals 40 years before screamo and metalcore tried it. Every musician in Cold Chisel has written amazing songs but Don Walker, the piano player, may be one of the greatest song writers ever.
This band have been together since they were young kids (teens). They originated in South Australia and moved to Sydney early on. Theyâve done the hard yards and the most respected musicians in Australia. They still play decades later and draw HUGE crowds. Live there is NOTHING to compare. They are FIRED
You know what mate, you give a bloody honest take. Kudos to you... though I am disappointed with your lack of appreciation for one of the world's greatest, unrecognised blues harmonica exponents! Gotta check out some more Aussie rock my friend.
Cheers mate what an awesome reaction. A lot of fun. Go down the rabbit hole. It wonât disappoint. Note Iâm off in the comments to d see what George Ibrahim thinks, heâs bound to have beat me to it.
These guys should have been huge worldwide
The record companies ripped them off
They got dogged in America, then wrote a song about it called, "you got nothing I want". The official vid is fire
Aussies tend to not like 'music executives/companies or being told what to do' lmao....... so they stay home with their families and fans........

Aussie pub rock. Grew up hearing them and their subsequent solo careers.
Try when the war is over from the same concert. Awesome.
Ok, yes the song was fire, but did you not hear the world's best harmonica player, the great David Blight. I don't understand how can anyone can annalise Cold Chisel's magnificent performance without mentioning David's incredible talent.

Dont forget the harmonica guy he was amazing in this
David Blight.
Best harmonica solo ever

Still rock to Chisel and now I'm 61!!! Thanks for the memories...AWESOME. Friggin' LEGENDS and your face says it allâ€â€â€â€đđđđđČđđČđđČđđČ
Jimmy just turned 67 on 28th April. He was born in 1956. But still rocking đđđ
@@kazz3956 oh soz, lol. I thought he was older than thatđ almost the same as my birthday, but a few years older.đđđđČ
Jimmy Barns is the main lead singer (rougher voice, mike shoved down the front of his jeans). Ian Moss is the second lead singer (on guitar). This bands been rocking Australia for decades. Both have their own careers as well. Since you liked this, try Jimmy's duo with John Farnham (When something is wrong with my Baby) and his duo with Joe Bonamassa (Stone Cold). As with most Aussies singers, live performances are usually better.
Once upon a time, there where two types of music.
Barneys and Farnesy in the 1980's. ha hađ
Cold Chisel are the quintessential 'people's band'. They write songs for the working class. It's why they are so beloved.
I'm here for more Aussie rock thanks.đ

Welcome to Cold Chisell, a very deep rabbit hole.
The guitarist and 2nd lead singer has his own career and is well respected in the music industry across many genres as a guitarist and as a vocalist.
The lead singer , Jimmy Barnes , was Australiaâs biggest act, and is still performing full voice to packed houses...... has his own bottomless rabbit hole.
Try his duet with Tina Turner..... Simply The Best.
Then his live in the studio Stone Cold with guitar legend Joe Bonamassa.
Then his bluesy soul duet with John Farnham..... When Something is Wrong With My Baby.
Farnham is another rabbit hole.
Those who donât believe Barnsey is Australiaâs greatest ever singer believe Farnham is the best singer ever.....worldwide.
Growing up with this band was such a privilege. Jump on Cold Chisel. You wont regret it. âźïž

We love our cold chisel. Thanks for the memories
I was blessed to be a kid of the 80s and I grew up with this music. Here in Australia itâs calls pub rock and every good pub had live music every Thursday Friday and Saturday. This band cold chisel was the very first concert I ever went to when I was 14.
Everyone in this band is a fucking genius!
Next one, When the War is Over, 2003 live.
This band played my school social (formal) in Adelaide, South Australia đŠđș back in the 70s. A year or so later they didnât need to play school socials. Band lineupâŠâŠ.. Ian Moss (Guitar/Vocals), Jimmy Barnes (Vocals), Phil Small (Bass), Steve Prestwich (drums/percussion), Don Walker (Keyboards), David Blight(harmonica)âŠâŠ. Songs were written by Ian Moss, Don Walker, Jimmy Barnes and (the late) Steve PrestwichâŠâŠ. Super talented band !!!
This song gives us Australian's chills of adrenaline...when your overseas and in a pub...this track is home. All about coming back from Vietnam.
Best Aussie rock band. Huge and eclectic array of songs. First saw them in 1980 in Sydney and many many times in pub venues across the city and suburbs. Two front singers though Jimmy Barnes is the main lead. In Bow River it's Ian Moss with Jimmy backing him. Awesome concert. Check out Ian Moss's version of Georgia. Epic.
Best rock band ever in my opinion. Check them out performing âwhen the war is overâ from this same gig live Ringside 2003 next please
Aussie pub rock at its best đŠđș
U have entered a massive rabbit hole matey
Absolutely love this version & yes for the guitar & vocals. But the highlight for me in this performance was the Harmonica player, I think he held the whole song together đ
I've got one that will kick the shit out of you.
You know "Lose Yourself', Eminem, a giant song from a giant performer.
A tiny Australian country singer, Kasey Chambers, has hijacked that song. It's her song now.
First, know the words, that's important, the lyrics are huge.
Relax yourself for a gentle banjo, then listen in wonder as she changes the song, it's no longer country...... A few minutes in, strap yourself in, I mean, brace yourself.....just hold on.
Rocket time!
Is it bigger than this song, "Bow River"? Maybe........
100%
Holly crap bloke, I wasnât going to check that out as I am not the biggest country, nor Eminem fan.
That has got to go down as one of the greatest performances I have ever seen, and perhaps the best cover ever made.
Thanks for sharing.
â@@cjjoe2385 you, sir, are 100% correct. I hope you got the 'live at Newcastle" version. It deserves to be the biggest song in the world this year. Funny thing is; yes, "Bow River" deceives to begin, but NOTHING deceives as much as "Lose Yourself" with Kasey Chambers!
If you want a list of Australian artists as good as this, but you've never heard of them, let me know. A few to begin. The world's first heavy music, blowing ear drums from around 1963, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs "Mama Live At GTK" is probs the best live version. I mean, 1960's, seriously? You also probs should know this. If musos aren't good live in Aus, they're not gunna get recorded. They spend years in bloodbath pubs to get this good.
Now turn 180 degrees, the tall blonde goddess, Delta Goodrem, singing with the tiny blind Aboriginal, Gurrumul live on The Voice Australia, singing "Bayini" in his language. Tissue required. Back to live rock, try Baby Animals with the oh so attractive Suzie De Marchi out front singing "Backbone" live.
Let me know.
Great comment, excellent insight and truth from a first time listener. congrats buddy! Welcome to the wonderful world of Cold Chisel
Love the last verse, 1 week 2 weeks maybe even more, piss all my money up against the dam wall đ»đđ
64 old Aussie here. Like AC đđDC then listen to these blokes.
Listening to what Aussies call a legend of a band for the 1st time is new.
Hope you enjoy it.
I love watching these reactions to our Chisel's Bow River. I just smile and keeping thinking "Wait for it... Wait for it.... There you go!" Headbanging time!
Classic oz rock/pub pand from back in the day
Makes you wish you were there, for sure!
Love your reactions man. You can tell thereâs music in your blood
Aussie pub rock, play and sing so well, the drunks don't run you out. These guys are the best. After the US record execs messed them around, they came home and Jimmy Barnes, Barnsey wrote, You got Nothin' I Want. Listen to Saturday night for Ian Moss, Mossy. Later on try Barnsey and Farnsey, John Farnham, doing a bluesy Sam and Dave song, When Something is Wrong With my Baby. The best one is on a well loved tv show, called Hey, Hey, It's Saturday, but they may block you, the official clip is good, the guitarist is Diesel, Barnsey's Bro-in-Law. Recently Barnsey put out a 30 year anniversary album called Soul Deep, with among the extra's, Soothe Me, with Sam Moore from Sam and Dave, In his 90's still got it.
Just saw a sneak preview to Farnsey's movie on CZcams, John Farnham: Finding the Voice, out on May 18, in the cinemas. Barnsey does a bit of recollecting of John Farnham in it. They were fantastic together..
Hahaha.... I still remember John Farnham singing 'Sadie', the cleaning lady đđđ he's come a long way since then, he was Johnny Farnham back then, too!!! Oh god, I'm really showing my age nowđđđâ€ïžđđČđđČ
Cold Chisel đAustralia đŠđș
Great old Aussie rock đ
Welcome to Australian music đđ
American Record Labels didn't want them so Cold Chisel came back to OZ and wrote the song ,"You got nothing I want, you got nothing I need"
The harmonica player is one of the greatest in the world. I might say the GOAT. †COLD CHISEL, Barnsey, Farhnsey, Aussie music is CULTURE.
My boys cold chilsel
Barnsey and Chisel - solid Aussie staples đ
Welcome to the Gods of Aussie rock.
I'm so glad you acknowledged the awsome bassline in this song it is so often overlooked
As a Aussie who watched their whole career back in the day they were true class...all the way
Ian Moss guitar vocals Jimmy Barnes vocals Don Walker keyboard Phil Small bass and the now deceased Steve Prestwich on drums. Dave Blight on the harp played many live shows with chisel
any cold chisel is worth a watch
Cold Chisel were contrasing hard and soft vocals 40 years before screamo and metalcore tried it.
Every musician in Cold Chisel has written amazing songs but Don Walker, the piano player, may be one of the greatest song writers ever.
Cold Chisel are Rock Royalty in Oz â€ïžđŠđș
A good Aussie pub band
This band have been together since they were young kids (teens). They originated in South Australia and moved to Sydney early on. Theyâve done the hard yards and the most respected musicians in Australia. They still play decades later and draw HUGE crowds. Live there is NOTHING to compare. They are FIRED
Cold Chisel lead guitarist Ian Moss soloist Now plays county rock
Best reaction yetđ!!
You know what mate, you give a bloody honest take. Kudos to you... though I am disappointed with your lack of appreciation for one of the world's greatest, unrecognised blues harmonica exponents! Gotta check out some more Aussie rock my friend.
Cheers mate what an awesome reaction. A lot of fun. Go down the rabbit hole. It wonât disappoint. Note Iâm off in the comments to d see what George Ibrahim thinks, heâs bound to have beat me to it.
