GRACE KNIGHT: It was 1984.
15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,959
And it felt like
the future had arrived.
16
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,639
Beep, beep.
17
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,799
A revolutionary new machine
called the Apple Macintosh
18
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,519
has this little thing
called a 'mouse' here.
19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,839
But despite George Orwell's
famous novel,
20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,079
Big Brother wasn't exactly
watching yet.
21
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,359
Or was he?

00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,319
So, we've got Bob and Irene Hill's

Yes.

I hope they don't mind us
seeing that.

00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,600
I hope not.
26
00:01:03,601 --> 00:01:07,279
In 1984, the first gold dollar coins
were rolled out.
27
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,199
And in the world of entertainment,
28
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,799
there was much to spend them on.
29
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:16,439
The heroes and villains of WWF
were taking over the world.
30
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,919
And while Australia
didn't have Hulk Hogan,
31
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,680
we did have Old Bad Back Jack.
32
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:27,519
There were also plenty of bad guys to
boo on the big screen that year.
33
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,759
Arnie introduced us to
The Terminator.
34
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,159
Freddie Krueger introduced us
to our nightmares.
35
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,559
And if there was something strange
in your neighbourhood,
36
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,479
we knew who to call.
37
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,480
The hardest part of it
38
00:01:39,481 --> 00:01:41,759
was getting the word 'Ghostbusters'
in the song.
39
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,599
I was like, Ghostbusters
is a real hard word to sing.
40
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,600
MOLLY: Exactly.
41
00:01:44,601 --> 00:01:46,239
I mean, it's not exactly
the easiest sort of word
42
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,240
to put down and make it rhyme.
43
00:01:47,241 --> 00:01:50,039
Yeah, so I came up with the idea of,
"Who you going to call?"
44
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,800
And then, "Ghostbusters"
is just added to it.
45
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,399
(LAUGHS)
46
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,279
Alright, Australia, I have arrived!

In '84, Twisted Sister told us they
weren't going to take it
48
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,759
and we followed suit.
49
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,719

applied eyeliner,

pop stars had experimented

Annie Lennox and Grace Jones

Now, listen, tell me, when did you
first actually really,
119
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,319
truly get the name Marilyn?
120
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,119
Well, the kids at school
used to called me names,
121
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,039
at first it was "Poof" and "Queer",
which, in England, is quite normal.
122
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,479
And then when they got
more intelligent
123
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,879
they decided to start
calling me Marilyn
124
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,959
because I drew pictures of
Marilyn Monroe in my art class.
125
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,639
So, I thought,
"Right, I'm going to keep the name"
126
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,559
"and show you that I can
make something of myself."
127
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,639
What was the inspiration
for you to, sort of,
128
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,719
try out some different art things
on your face as far as make-up?
129
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,639
Basically, I mean,
when I was very young,
130
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,679
like, some people have curly hair,
they want it straight,
131
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,999
and I just hated my face.
132
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,839
I thought it was the most
bland-looking little peanut
133
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:37,959
I'd ever seen.
134
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,199
And it was basically...
135
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,200
I mean, obviously,
136
00:07:40,201 --> 00:07:41,879
when I started wearing make-up
I wore very little,
137
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,839
I wore just eyeliner
and stuff like that.
138
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,039
You know, there's no way of really
talking about make-up
139
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,679
without making it sound effeminate.
140
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,719
But it's never, ever been a means
for me to be a woman.
141
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,799
I've got no desire to be a woman.
Right.
142
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,759
I mean, you know, I'm a big guy,
I'm a man, you know.
143
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,199
I think most people
when they meet me say,
144
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,559
"God," they expect me
to be a real fairy.
145
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,200

is completely shattered.

Hi there, I'm Boy George
from Culture Club,
200
00:11:13,560 --> 00:11:16,359

Guess he deserves it, actually.
Did it for the... (LAUGHS)
204
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,959
1984 was a tough year for Molly.
205
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,079
Did it for the insurance.
206
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,439
He had to deal with
outspoken co-hosts.

247
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,839
recession in the UK,

and continuing IRA unrest,
249
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:29,439
many bands in 1984
felt compelled to comment.
250
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,440
In the US,
251
00:14:30,441 --> 00:14:33,199
there was a lot of money was coming
from the US to Ireland
252
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,999
to support the men of violence
on both sides of the fence.
253
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,719
And our attitude was, you know,
there's no glory to this.
254
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,119
There's no glory, and I say it
to people here in Australia,
255
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,799
that, you know...
256
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,079
sending money over.
257
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,399
There are places, sure, where your
money would be appreciated
258
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,679
but not the men of violence,
we don't need money from bombs.
259
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,959
It's like really hard
to get housing in London,
260
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,959
first of all, private accommodation,
261
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,559
like for rent it's just
extortionate.
262
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,039
And also the council waiting lists
are just like miles long.
263
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,879
But there's so many empty,
vacant council premises.
264
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,719
And what a lot of young people
are doing now
265
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,399
is actually just taking them over.
266
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:14,439
But most of the councils
267
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,999
have got really sort of
reactionary attitudes towards that.
268
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,719
We got evicted eight weeks ago.
MOLLY: Right.
269
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,839
They just kicked in the door
and told us to get out.
270
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,319
We couldn't do anything about it.
271
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,719
We'd been there for eight months,
you know, we felt at home.
272
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,559
Actually, we took off
and went to India... man.
273
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,239
And played there quite a lot.
274
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,879
Malaya and Thailand and Singapore.
275
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,799
And then we went to Romania,
276
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,879
and then we went to Israel
during the Lebanese war to play.
277
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,359
And places that were
very strange for us.
278
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,079
And I don't know why
at the time we did it,
279
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,399
it was to get out of
all that stuff,
280
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,439
and to get out of my depression.
281
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,799
And it was very good because it...
282
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:52,800
enervated me at the end,
283
00:15:52,801 --> 00:15:55,359
it made me think that what we were
doing was actually quite good
284
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,999
and good fun.

to the term one-man band.

00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,720
and new heroes that were relatable.
476

478
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,759
We literally
came out of the audience,
479
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,799
we were very, very
interested in fashion,
480
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,079
and we had a few, what we thought,
were revolutionary ideas
481
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,999
as far as the music business
was concerned.
482
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,799
So, we never actually had a tag.
483
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,439
And although the...
484
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,959
the music press did try
to label us New Romantics,
485
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,119
even 'Futurist'
and half a dozen other names.
486
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,159
It's very convenient for them
to do that with groups
487
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,959
so they can then put
the tag on the group,
488
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,439
lock them in the drawer
under 'N' for 'New Romantics'
489
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,199
and everyone's
in their little niches.
490
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,119
And it's all very easy
for them to write articles on.
491
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,479
They think that if you continue
to write really strong songs,
492
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,639
and you can just keep doing that,
493
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,039
then you've got a lot more chance of
surviving for longer
494
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,799
than if you sort of become
preoccupied with...
495
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,839
pictures in magazines
instead of writing songs.
496
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:18,959
Everybody else actually worried
497
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,679
about the flavour of the month
thing, didn't they?
498
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,839
It was always the record company
and our managers
499
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,679
who were really like that.
500
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,799
And I think if there was any chance
of it coming up,
501
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,599
they certainly coped with it
very quickly.
502
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,039
I just think people expect now,
503
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,119
they expect bands to be really,
really good.
504
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,120
MOLLY: Right.
505
00:29:34,121 --> 00:29:36,159
Whereas in Britain,
there's not a lot of good bands.
506
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:41,119
In Australia, there is a lot
of good live bands
507
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,279
who, I mean, a lot of them
aren't known outside Australia.
508
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:45,879
But you come here
and you see them in the pubs,
509
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,119
and they can really carry it off.
510
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,999
They learn that sort of thing
on the boards there,
511
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,159
they really learn it.

half as much as I do,

658
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,439
I've been to in Australia so far.

We're now on the 10th anniversary.
660
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,239
We had our honoured guest, the
Prime Minister Mr Bob Hawke,
661
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:38,599
and he launched, with myself,
the International Youth Year.
662
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,559
And we talked about a youth hotline
663
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,919
of which you can ring up
your local radio station.
664
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,959
And once the hotline
starts working,
665
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,639

And, of course,
your favourite and mine,
672
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,679
and especially for five girls in
Brisbane who,
673
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,879
would you believe, have asked me to
take this petition across
674
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,119
and present it to Duran Duran.
675
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,879
It's 520 feet long.
676
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,879
And it's go so many pleases
it wouldn't matter.
677
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,959
And it all says, "Please, can we
please meet Duran Duran?"
678
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,359
Well, girls, I'll also be talking to
Boy George and Marilyn,
679
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:20,879
and they'll be furious
when they see this.
680
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,039
You haven't even said
one please to meet them.
681
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,079
So, I'll take it across
and see what happens.
682
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,599
And me dog Ziggy here, she's got a
hat for her, haven't you?
683
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,479
And I'll be missing her terribly.
684
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,039

do you like the Thompson Twins?

00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,040
Yeah, the song's good.
Yeah?
687
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,040
I like the song.
688
00:40:36,041 --> 00:40:37,119
So...
I don't like them much.
689
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,759
Why not?
690
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:39,760
I don't know.
691
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:40,760
You've hardly seen them.
692
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:41,760
What do you think about radio?
693
00:40:41,761 --> 00:40:44,559
Do you think they could
play more songs?
694
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:45,799
Like...
Oh.
695
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,239
Radio stations don't play
many new songs.
696
00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:49,679
She's won me for life.
697
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,119
They wait ages and ages
698
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,679
until one other radio station will
start playing something.
699
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:55,680
Right.
700
00:40:55,681 --> 00:40:59,799
Earlier this week,
we received a VHS cassette tape
701
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,239
from this school in Adelaide,
actually in South Australia,
702
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:06,119
Port Augusta, and it's
Flinders View Primary School,
703
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,159

And would you believe
705
00:41:09,161 --> 00:41:11,319
they've done this wonderful send up
of Countdown.
706
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,119
So, the quality is not that hot,
but I tell you what,
707
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:15,120
the performances are great.
708
00:41:15,121 --> 00:41:18,040

Jackson 5, 14 Greatest Hits.
715
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,759
It's in fact a picture disc.
716

And there's
the picture disc itself.
717
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,679
And there's the Tamla Motown
Michael Jackson glove.
718
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,519
I don't know if it's going to be
released in Australia,
719
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,559
but I tell you what, it's...
720
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,359
certainly wins
the tacky award of the year.
721
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,839
I'm sitting right here
at the bar of Koala Blue.
722
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,199
And, Olivia,
I'm looking after the shop
723
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:53,359
and the profits are going right up.
724
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:54,439
Look what I've actually bought.
725
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,719
I bought a St Kilda footy jumper,
726
00:41:56,720 --> 00:41:59,119
I bought a wonderful little apron,
a Vegemite apron.
727
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,319
Now, listen, a couple of weeks ago,
728
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:01,839
God, I get into trouble
all the time,
729
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,919
had a go at Rod Stewart,
only joking, everybody.
730
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,519
You know, I sort of take it in the
chin, he takes it in the chin.
731
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,319
I actually have had a few slaps
across the face from him as well.
732
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:11,359
Rod is coming out in January.
733
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,639
Yes, I'll be at the concert,
and it is a good concert,
734
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:14,640
saw it in Washington.
735
00:42:14,641 --> 00:42:17,319
So, don't get upset because
we do have a go at each other.
736
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:18,479
I mean, it's going to be wonderful.
737
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,479
Wham! will be out in January,
and Rod will be out in January.
738
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:21,879
And we'll all probably
have a fist fight.
739
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,919
We've also strongly urged
the government,
740
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:28,919
who take 32.5% sales tax
for every overseas record,
741
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,399
to drop their sales tax
in this case
742
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,319
and give that to
the Ethiopian Fund as well.
743
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,719
So, come on, Bob,
you've been on the show.
744
00:42:35,720 --> 00:42:37,679
Try to do this,
otherwise I want me hat back.
745
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:38,680
Alright, now listen...
746
00:42:38,681 --> 00:42:40,640
No, only joking, Bob.
I shouldn't be saying that.
747
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,400
Personally,
748
00:42:45,401 --> 00:42:47,759
I don't really care for much
modern music at the moment.
749
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,079
Is technology taking over too much
750
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,759
and knocking sort of, like,
the feel out of music?
751
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,719
I think... yes, for me.
752
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:55,720
Certainly, yes.
753
00:42:55,721 --> 00:42:58,279
I find it very,
very mundane and dull.
754
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,999
I don't think rock'n'roll music
755
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,359
is supposed to be
metronomically in time.
756
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:04,959
I think it spoils it completely.
757
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,559
It's supposed to have a little bit
of an ebb and flow there.
758
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:11,359
Like the synth-pop bands,
the new wave and post punk bands
759
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:15,000

gone back to the musical basics.

throw all our clothes out

884
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,679
After Thriller,
885
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,719
1984 will also be remembered for
Wham!'s

Pat Benatar also broke through with
Love Is A Battlefield.
897
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,079
You know, when you're touring you
don't look at chart positions
898
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,079
and no-one calls you on the road
when you're in Idaho.
899
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,119
So, we didn't have any idea that the
record was doing that good
900
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,359
until, you know...
901
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,159
we started having sell-out shows.
902
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:46,599
And we were,
"What the hell is this?"
903
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,559
You know, it was really great.
904
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:52,439
Tina Turner was in the midst
of a career resurgence.

Alright, now listen,
Cyndi Lauper, do you like her?
911
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,319
No, it's a bag.

Cyndi actually.
