Indeed. It's funny because I sent Ric (offlist) some commentary on this
former singer's current performance as a politician too!
Ric has captured the energy and passion of his stage performance very well.
That is what the photos are about of course.

Just to stray a little (but photography related), one action for which he
was responsible was to force the move of  the sunrise viewing platform near
Uluru (Ayer's Rock) for visitors to a new location. Literally hundreds of
thousands of visitors have been to the original location but now it is meant
to be more culturally acceptable. You can no longer actually see the sunrise
on the monolithic rock for much of the year! Just don't get any landscape
photographer started on the subject of that area. It formed part of a
photographers' protest campaign here "I'm a photographer, not a criminal"
