ok, my side of the 'good old days''
we had a crew who surfed, drank and watched as many live bands as we could.
as i remember mac and his mates who were a touch younger than us and just seemed to appear as i remembered it.
i think there was a connection with rob(hard).
mac was pretty green back then and rob took great delight in 'schooling' him with quick one liners and generally putting friendly **** on him.
good days those back then.
we made a connection again at greenline one day.
its quite funny to me because i see a lot of 'rob' in mac- the friendly larrikin good bloke who can put you back in your place in two seconds flat even if you've done nothing wrong.

it would be a sad day if mac did retire
cheers
