Ha! I very much enjoyed the following story sent in by Defamer Australia reader Elmo. It seems our Prime Minister likes Motley Crue, or at the very least, is open to the idea of reading the infamous book "The Dirt" and learning more about them.

We were at a taping of Q&A at the ABC last night, waiting in the audience for our Blessed Leader to arrive. So I was reading my friend's copy of the Dirt while we were waiting, just to bone up on the issues of the day. We nyukked about how funny it would be to get KRudd to sign it for us. It took two tries, but he dutifully did, out on the street in front of the ABC.

Thus earning our buddy Alex the coveted title of Everyone's Personal Hero.

"Have you read it?", she asks.

KRudd glances at cover.

"Ah. No. But I will."

"It's really very good."

So if it could be arranged for a copy of Motley Crue's autobiography to be
sent to the Prime Minister's office, that'd be tops.

There was a sign early in the piece that he'd be up for it - he wears Blundstones.

Rock on, PM. Rock on.
