You did what you set out to do. Or, maybe I'm thinking of what I set out to do with pieces in this vein.

I could see, hear, and feel the world of your youth reading this. The fact that an American song, from a quintessentially American singer, connected to an Australian girl's (and boy's) world is touching and I didn't expect it.

Before your account, I didn't know Turner had done anything for Australian Rugby. Nor did I know football in your country had a class split (fascinating). It makes me smile that Turner sang for the working class boys.

You put a bittersweet smile on my face. Really well done. Thank you.
