SADNESS: ROBERT FORSTER








Be it friend or family, the loss of a loved one eventually hits us all. Be it sudden or expected, it makes it no easier.

A couple of years ago I went to see Robert Forster, one of my musical idols. It was the first time that he had toured since the death of fellow Go-Between Grant McLennan. Grant was very much the elephant in the room, and everyone was waiting to see what Robert would say about him.

In the end, he didn't say anything. He didn't need to. He just sang this song.
