An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Garrett was born in The Sixties and immediately blamed the United States. While attending university, Garrett formed a pub rock band called "We Hate Everything", but people hated them. Their image was permanently ruined when Garrett accidentally mentioned he liked soup, which led to the band's demise. Literally - they were tied to stakes in the centre of Sydney and set on fire. At this point, Garrett spontaneously came up with a new name for the band, at the same time that his bandmates spontaneously combusted. "Hey, guys," he declared, "because we're being burned, why don't we call ourselves Midnight Oil!" By the time he'd finished speaking, however, his bandmates were dead. Garrett survived due to the lucky co-incidence of having fireproofed himself in the 1960s.
