"Bald Pates for Everyone!" was the war cry from the opposition Labour Party's headquarters, with news that activist rocker Peter Garrett might run for parliament. (AP) Story...

When a news reporter asked Garrett about his lack of participation (as a voter) in the past 10 years of elections, Garrett answered the question with a question, "How can we sleep when our beds are burning?" to which, the reporter coolly replied with the appropriate rhetorical response, "How can we dance when our earth is turning?"
