Fev isn't a goose; he's a big kid who is a lot of fun in what is becoming a monocultural boring society.
I bet most of our idols of the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's also crossed the line Fev has, but it was acceptable and media srutiny wasn't what it is today. I know plenty of stories. I've seen plenty. That's life.
Furthermore, society is becoming inundated with expectations complying with political correctness, new age guys and certain standards fit for a good Corporate citizen in a Corporate dominated world.
Grow your hair, throw out the suit, wear something groovy and enjoy life and those around you.
flower the media, flower political correctness, flower creating a boring society.
No wonder the generation Y exists with its so called inward focussed attitude. They too prefer to be the goose. The alternative is better than the 'norm' our new age society presents.
So what's 'normal'?
The hippy revolution was a rebellious movement against monoculture, and look at the great changes it gave us to enjoy and give us options and choice.
Fev doesn't have to be anything but himself. Let him have the option. He's lucky he does not have to be a 'boring' typecasted robot.
Go get em Fev, stick it right up 'em. Same with you Sammy Newman; flower 'em all, be yourself, and if being yourself means being honest with yourself and about the things you like to do (as long as you don't steal, slander, rape or kill and you pay your taxes...and be good to your mum), then enjoy life. Seize the day
It's his life. Why should he give a shit about those who want him to be in a straight jacket? Mr Goody Two shoes? Nah, that's not Fev. Fev adds color and love and compassion to those he's around. Sure he gets in a bit of trouble, but that's what being a boy means.
Don't kill the child in you Fev and live the life boring farts expect you to live. Life's too short and old age is too long. I'll still buy 10 CFC memberships no matter what you do...as long as you kick goals, play a team game and help us win the 17th Flag.
Who cares what you look like and what you do if you can help us win a flag? Once we've got the next flag...all is forgotten...even from those who call you a goose. Why? Because the Holy Grail is all we're after.
Win the Flag and memberships and sponsors will flock!
The world is a colorful experience. It is made up of all types of personalities, fun, boring and indifferent, all sorts of races, all sorts of cultures. Thank god for that.
Let life live.
Do what you want to do.
Be who you want to be.
Get us a flower flag!!!!!! That's what its all about!!!!!
....and if Neil Balme gets in your way after we win a flag can you forget about political correctness you're expected to conform to, and punch him in the mouth from me, Southby and every Carlton supporter. Just tell the media you were drinking and celebrating and he fell on your fist. I wont hate you for it.
Go and kick another goal, forget about what the minority Carlton supporters think of how you should act; they're just frustrated haters because of Black Friday and its consequence, they're not lovers....baby....well not until we win the flower next flag!!!!!
Talking Carlton is always good reading.And Bondi,ya always make sense.But you have exceaded even your own high standards.Thats bloody fantastic mate and i wholeheartedly agree.We have had more than our share of scalywags over the years and Fev is actually a choir boy compared to some of them.Its just the way it is at Carlten.And its just the way i like it.
Good stuff Bondi !
