Little Johnny makes apologies >From AAP 07aug00 2.20pm (AEST) LITTLE Johnny today offered his apologies to every member of the stolen generation. "LJ", the artist-formerly-known-as-Pauline Pantsdown, also considerately offered to step in and fill the gap whenever the Prime Minister felt a little lost dealing "with all that embarrassing social policy stuff". Little Johnny, who has risen from the ashes of satirist Simon Hunt's no longer-needed Ms Pantsdown, was launched on the world today. The breakdancing clubbing LJ let loose his debut single and video - I'm Sorry - which digitally reassembles fragments of Prime Minister John Howard's utterances into a funky, if at times senseless little ditty. It ends with an apology to "every member of the stolen generation" and declares "I'm Sorry, I don't know much history, guess I'm totally history ..." Mr Hunt says he digitally compiled Mr Howard's utterances in an effort to find "the apology within". Pantsdown sent up controversial One Nation leader Pauline Hanson by joining various recordings of her voice in the top 10 single, I Don't Like It, which sold 30,000 copies and managed two nominations at last year's ARIA Awards. The I'm Sorry video clip features a breakdancing Little Johnny moving Red Hot Chilli peppers style, while asking if he is the genius of love. It ends on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, where LJ paints the word sorry ABC television style on the screen. Mr Howard's office did not wish to comment. ------------------------------------------------------ RecOzNet2 has a page @ http://www.green.net.au/recoznet2 and is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/ To unsubscribe from this list, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED], and in the body of the message, include the words: unsubscribe announce or click here mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20announce This posting is provided to the individual members of this group without permission from the copyright owner for purposes of criticism, comment, scholarship and research under the "fair use" provisions of the Federal copyright laws and it may not be distributed further without permission of the copyright owner, except for "fair use."
