What has Midnight Oil's Jim Moginie been up to lately? OR How to kiss the Blarney Stone
Join Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musicians.
When the chords of "Power and the Passion" resonate, one can't help but be transported to a time of potent political statements wrapped in rock anthems. That's the kind of evocative power my guest, Jim Moginie of Midnight Oil, brings to our podcast. We take a stroll down memory lane with him, as he recalls the band's storied past and their electrifying performance at Bluesfest in the throes of a pandemic. Jim's personal journey from an adopted child in conservative Sydney to a music icon is no less compelling, shaping not only his art but his world view. And as we discuss his memoir, we uncover the layers of a song that's as relevant today as it was decades ago.
Beyond the stage lights and guitar riffs, there's a rich tapestry of Irish music that's close to Jim's heart, and it runs through our conversation like a vibrant thread. The intimate pub sessions, the storytelling—they're all part of a cultural legacy that he holds dear.
Our episode transcends mere chords and lyrics, touching on the shared human experiences: confronting fears, the hard-won lessons of personal failures, and the growth that comes from them. As Jim talks about the upcoming film "The Hardest Line", we explore the sustaining power of music and the indelible marks it leaves on our lives.
Join us for a session that's as much about the man behind the music as it is about the enduring beat of rock 'n' roll.
