Giday humans, welcome in the safe space for dangerous ideas, and today a true living legend.

For more than a half a century, Peter Garrett has occupied the consciousness of Australians and many people around the world.

You may know him from this little number.

How can we dance when our earth is turning? from this little number. That's right.

That's right. He's the lead singer of Midnight Oil, one of the most iconic bands in Australian history.

But he's not just that. He is also an environmentalist and a politician and an activist.

At the same time as he was a superstar in Australia for his music career, he became the head of the Australian Conservation Foundation,

one of the country's biggest environmental groups, and then went into politics with all of the

compromises and difficulties that that might entail. He became the Minister for the Environment.

He went on to be Minister for Education in the Australian government. He spearheaded the campaign against Japanese

wailing in the Southern Ocean, which ended that particular practice. An incredible person

with a lot of incredible thoughts about all of the biggest issues that face us from climate chaos

to the way that we live our lives, energy independence and

the rise of China. His new solo album is called The True North. It's with his band The Alter

Egos. It drops on March 15th. He'll be touring Australia in March. Please enjoy the one-and-home

The Living Legend, Peter Garrett.

And I got tickets six months in advance to go to get. I was ticket number one for that night.

This was at the peak of Letterman's like prowess, mid to late 90s.

And the, and you were the act.

We did a letterman quite a few times.

This would have been probably to maybe like 96 or something.
