Its A Saturday Jan 2025, Im 55 5 am in Massachusetts and Men At Work popped in my head, i e just listened to 7 of their songs, love them , terrific lyrics and musicians, and now Cons Doc, perfect wake up!So pleased!😊
I am so grateful for your music! It got me through some very difficult times! Thank you and many blessings!
Very few humans transcend the barrier between merely dreaming, and being the dream.
The right music at the right time, was what they / he meant to many of us.
The energy field around this continuing gift he shares so effectively,
seems to draw us in, make us smile, then make us cry.
Thank you Sir Knight Colin Hay, for all you’ve accomplished, and the joy you’ve shared freely with us, over these many years.
May your music live forever!
👁️❤️🎼🎶
I love him.
You’ll always be a superstar in my book. You’re a world class musician!
Excelente artista, uno de mis músicos favoritos desde mis 9 años (desde 1982 cuando salió Business as usual y mi prima Marina me regaló el cassette).
The Beatles defined the music of my youth. I had the pleasure of seeing Colin Hays in Las Vegas last year and again in San Diego a few months ago. Both times as the songs from the various band members of Ringo Starr's Allstar Band were in my head after the show, it was Colin's voice and a couple of his songs that stood out. They were in my memories and I have been connecting with his music again. I appreciate his work very much.
Bloody well right good
In 1981 …I was 21 years old. I heard this song …listen to them all the time. Great band.😊
It was just circumstances. Circumstances usually dictates most things.
…
But I was using you, shamelessly, while I plotted and schemed, tried to figure out how to get back to the lofty peaks of superstardom.
Where I so clearly belong.
That was in 1991.
I had a long-plan term.
Maravilloso!
Gracias Colin
I love you Colin.!! From Italy
The rapid, awful fall of that fantastic band was one of the biggest disappointments of my teenage life. I wanted so badly to enjoy "Two Hearts" and Colin's solo material, but Men at Work without the Men was like Queen with only Freddy Mercury.
If you remove a couple ingredients from a perfect recipe, no matter how insignificant those ingredients might seem, the entire dish completely falls apart.
And once Greg Ham was gone, it was game over.
Utterly tragic.
That said, I'm very happy to see Colin enjoying happiness and at least some relevance today.
Greg Ham, on the other hand, was utterly consumed by depression and addiction after that idiotic "Kookaburra Trial."
Someone needs to make a video about that tragic cautionary tale, because Greg was arguably half the musical genius that made up Men at Work.
Fantastic documentary; I’m originally from Kilwinning just along the road from Saltcoats: your Dad made a good decision Colin!
Ps Jimoen is the best comic going too!
Colin. I'm 60 – you still are The Man! Always loved your work and now I love it even more. It is so good to see you happy and thriving; you are a true inspiration.
How did Colin loose one of his eyes?..
Men at Work and Colin Hay for ever
Looking forward to seeing you someday, in Spain perhaps?
overwhelmed by "just not picking up the sword." colin hay is hero material.
Brazil Loves so much Colin and his songs!!! My son Gabriel (14 y old) always saw me playing Men at Work on my guitar, and fell in love too.
One eve in Pa. I was asked if I knew of Colin Hay and if I could pick him up to bring him to the show that eve. A wonderfull short trip with a new friend.
Brillant, merci Colin.
I love this guy, and this is such a great documentary and a great story.
Great to see Ron Stryker on here….He and Colin didn't speak for many years( in fact Strykert was once arrested for threatening to kill Colin !! )….so hope this means they have made up ????
Just Iike Noddy and Jim Lea …they haven't spoken for over 20 years !!!….very sad .🌟⭐🎸🎵🎵❤
