The backpackers sounds like a nice idea, a place created to honor both Bon and his fans. His statue could front the building, welcoming fans, rather than just sticking him inside some random shop as he is now.

I SAY THAT A BACKPACKERS NAMED IN BONS SAKE WOULD MAKE AN IDEAL PLACE TO LOCATE THE STATUE... PEOPLE WHO COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD COULD PARK UP AND STAY A FEW NIGHTS IN THE BACKPACKERS... VISITING HIS GRAVE AND ENJOYING THE STATUE IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT...

We have no political or local clout to get anything done. You're the one in country, Ben, I'd love to hear what you're doing to get Bon's statue moved. You are correct, Carolyn, tnere is no finangial gain to be had from sharing our dreams and opinions of what it would be like to have Bon's story on the big screen. My take on the resistance or reluctance to having Bon's statue put out where it belongs is a typical hippie one. Bon's a beloved rock'n'roller, there must still enough old "establishment" conservative political muscle. I'm sure it's not quite that simple, and it only my opinion, Ben, and no, I'm not out to make a buck from it.

We hardcore fans just believe Bon's story deserves to be told onscreen. The fans have nothing to gain from it other than the satisfaction of seeing a fitting tribute to Bon's greatness. But your point is well taken. I, too, am perplexed by the reluctance to place Bon's statue where it rightly belongs. Sorry, Ben, didn’t mean to offend with talk of a biopic.

But in general his speaking voice sounded more Aussie than Scot. (as an adult) Did that make any sense? Maaan I'm tired! Carolyn, you hit the nail on the head. Especially the lip-sync-ing! Think Nat would play Rosie? :-} My feeble brain is really taking flights of fancy now.
