On King Street, I'm a King
Check out this awesome ode to Newtown from John Kennedy's Love Gone Wrong back from 1985. The come-back starts right here, I reckon...

What is Nosey In Newtown?
Nosey in Newtown is about what goes on right under your nose. It's curosity about your habitat and engagement with your home. It's treading every footpath and delighting in every funny-looking dog and finding the beautiful in the familiar. It's about talking to the local shopkeepers and feeling connected with your community. It's about reclaiming the right to be a nosey neighbour. Not being invasive, or meddling, but sticking your nose around a few corners and sniffing around for surprising finds. Because what's going down in your neighbourhood is your business.
Have you been Noseyed?
If you've received a Nosey In Newtown calling card like this, then you've been Noseyed! You've inspired your neighbours to ponder something intriguing or wonderful that you have done. It would be lovely if you could leave a comment or send an email to let Nosey know more. No-one's privacy is invaded on Nosey In Newtown, and the location of private property is never revealed, but if you'd prefer to be removed from the site, that's no problem at all.

Awesome! I had to tweet this: http://twitter.com/misswired/status/1104259192
Awesome indeed! That song is in my head for good, for ages I've always added the words "I'm a king" if anyone said "on King Street".
So, thanks for the visuals to go with it.
Fine as that may be, Nosey, I don't really think it's any match for Outline's 'Cicada (That Ate Five Dock)'

EE! EE! EE! EE!
Now that's how you write about a suburb.
JFK is still playing and recording - you might catch him at The Rose in Erko
Does anyone know if he made a video for his other inner-west classic "Miracle In Marrickville" ?
I enjoyed reading your articles. This is truly a great read for me. I have bookmarked it and I am looking forward to reading new articles.
