Inspired by the bestselling book by Andrew Stafford, PIG CITY Brisbane's Historical Soundtrack charts a path through the heady days of Bjelke-Petersen's Queensland. The years when Brisbane dragged itself out of a somnolent country town daze and blazed alight with music and politics.
I read Pig City a while back, and it is a great book. It's not often that I wish I lived in Brisbane, but this is doing it.
Pig City was a fascinating read. Tho' I doubt I really would have liked to have lived in Brisbane during Peanut Joh's dictatorship and being hassled by the Qld police all the time...it was bad enough being harrassed by the St Kilda cuntsabulary thanks!
