Redgum - A.S.I.O.

Details

Description

South Australia's Redgum, along with the likes of Goanna and Midnight Oil, were at the forefront of political comment through their music. Their biggest hit had been "I Was Only 19", a protest song against the futility in Vietnam. These sort of songs also brought them to the attention of ASIO (Australian Security Intelligence Organisation) and so it is little wonder that John Schumann should find another topic to write a song about.
