PAUL NORTON ONE OF THE 1989 ONE HIT WONDERS WHO GOT THE AUSTRALIAN RADIO STATION SQUEEZE




Short and sweet is definitely the motto for me tonight, I have had an absolute nightmare trying to `unfreeze` my computer, would seem I suffered a Facebook spyware attack as a result of a link being posted on my anti-coal seam gas facebook page I recently started up.

Most reluctantly I might add, to do my
bit for the cause of protecting farmland in Australia. Heavy subject? Yes! So lets get on to a quick little thought which crossed my mind about something musical. 

In the late 1980`s I loved this song called STUCK ON YOU by an australian rock
artist named Paul Norton. 

I actually have already reviewed this song briefly on one of my six pack of rockers ditties but I wanted to resurrect it to review it separately so it got the wrap it deserved.

I don't know much about Paul Norton other than the old vinyl single of this song that I still have in amongst my CD`s. 

Typically like so much good quality Australian rock music at the arse end of the 80`s, Paul Norton and STUCK ON YOU didn`t go anywhere commercially, record companies and radio stations were already getting into "rap crap" from America by the time 1989 had ticked around. 

1989 was the year in Australian music which the Australian music establishment and the major radio stations forgot all about. STUCK ON YOU by Paul Norton should be a radio staple 20 years on but it`s not to be.
