Inducted into the ARIA in Australia this past evening (I believe). Apparently Bono video taped a speech, which if anyone has, I'd love to see. Don't know if they played or not (would love to find out)

Oils attack music industry over ignoring political activism
Winning was not the only challenge at last night's ARIA music awards, with legendary Australian rockers Midnight Oil using their Hall of Fame induction to attack the music industry for its lack of political activism.
The band urged today's new talent to sing about issues that matter.
Bono from supergroup U2 honoured Midnight Oil with an introduction to their award.
"If Midnight Oil could mean any one idea, it would have to be that Australia could be more, for more people, and that the only obstacle to that is indifference," Bono said.
The Oils bemoaned the seemingly lack of political activism in music today, with former band member Rob Hirst saying the industry might be guilty of ignoring upcoming players.
"Maybe complaint rock is still being written, but ignored by an industry hypnotised by get-famous-fast TV shows," he said.
Former Oils frontman and now federal MP Peter Garrett also thanked Silverchair's Daniel Johns for his tribute.
"The fact that he's done that is a mighty compliment and I'm very very flattered, and it was a very sweet thing of Daniel to do," Garrett said.

. That new wave music channel we get here, and which we also had in Nebraska, is a godsend, seriously 
. I've discovered a lot of great music that way, this band's songs being one of those discoveries.
for timmy and for others to download the songs if the links are still valid. You must check them out, really!
