“His sense of humor, much like his #musical voice, was dry, subtle, to the point, hilarious and always left you wanting a more. Yesterday, he left this world, leaving so many who loved him wanting so much more…of him.” #RIP #FredSmith #Television #bassists #MusicSky variety.com/2026/music/n...

Donald Trump’s remarks about Afghanistan reignited debate over allied service. Songs and accounts from Australians who were there offer a detailed picture of life on the front line, Warwick McFadyen writes. #PearlsAndIrritations #auspol #Afghanistan #FredSmith #WarAndMemory
Trump, Afghanistan and the songs that tell a different story
Donald Trump should have listened to Australian songwriter Fred Smith before he spoke ignorantly about the sacrifices of soldiers in Afghanistan.
