When I was a gawky nerdy teen way back in the 1970s, the only poster I had on my bedroom wall was Split Enz, ripped from some magazine. Why? No idea because when I listen to their songs from that time I don't recognise a single one. Maybe it was how they reinvented themselves with mad makeup, hair and colour everywhere. Who knows. But they have always been and continue to be one of my favourite bands.
So a book comes out, written by one of those weirdos in that poster! Get my hands on this. So enjoyable, so readable, so interesting and a bit of a walk down memory lane with a potted history of how NZ music went from nothing to something, Mike Chunn being one of those who made it happen.
His parents must have been marvellous people - allowing their two sons to develop and hone their musical talents, always approving, giving support and guidance without it seems being pushy or overbearing. The boys' time at Sacred Heart College brought them into close contact with other musically inclined boys, who also went onto make names for themselves in music. The bonds these boys formed at school carried them through the next few years as they tried to become a world famous rock band.
Be careful what you wish for. Fame and relentless exposure does not suit everybody. Many tough times too, not just for the band as a whole, but for the players. I knew nothing about agoraphobia, which Mike suffered from starting at this time. His life only surviving due to all the pills he was taking, it was many years before he realised what the cause was, and then how he went about dealing with it, learning to live with it.
He has gone onto great things in NZ music, his love for playing with others resulting in the formation of Citizen Band. After flanneling his way through the excesses of the 1980s, I loved reading about his relentless campaigning to get more NZ music on the radio, encouraging young people in song writing, and possibly his greatest legacy the Play It Strange music trust. What a gift this man and his brother have been to the business of making music in NZ.
