The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show, Melbourne's Gold 104.3.

Hey, this is Christian O'Connell from The Breakfast Show.

Thank you very much to download in this special Jimmy Barnes interview.

And it is a special interview because not the normal interview that I've done before.

And that's because of the man you're about to hear, Jimmy Barnes.

The documentary, I cannot recommend it enough.

It's called Working Class Boy, and it's about the young life, the early life of Jimmy Barnes. And if you read

the book, which I have, which is one of the best rock stories ever written, it's an amazing

read. However, the documentary takes it to another level. It will break your heart at times.

It is so sad. This guy really, really, really had a

tough upbringing. And when you see it on screen and you see the pain that it still has on Jimmy's

face when he talks about it, but it isn't just a misery fest for an hour and a half. It's also a

story about healing as well. And you see his family up there. There's a scene with his son that will just melt

your heart. It is beautiful. It's an incredible documentary. It's a film. And it is a brilliant one.

When people talk about the best rock documentaries, this will be mentioned up there, working class

boy. Cannot recommend it enough. I promise you, at the end of this chat, you'll want to go and see it.

But anyway, here he is, Jimmy Barnes.

Jimmy, I have to first of all say, thanks for even still doing the interview this week,

because when we heard about the falling through the stage,

we didn't think we'd see you this week.

Well, I didn't think I'd be getting around because when I first did it,

the first thing I thought was I busted my leg.
