My original image of Olivia Newton-John from the mid-1970s: long flowing floral dresses; long brown hair with medium length; large searching eyes; and, when called upon, an irresistible smile perfect for the cover of TV Week.
It seems that she has passed her morals.
But even in the high hippie and professional society and what is known as culture, I respect Olivia, a large number in the culture of the first 20 years in the world feels natural to call her. and her first name.
There is something about her voice, her way of singing. Through her accent and timbre, there is always a desire to sing.
Like the hot weather in December-to-February, Olivia is part of the Australian landscape. The country is somewhat less hostile to being in it – or it is bound from the north, as we claim it as “ours”.
There is an older sister who understands and sympathizes with her.

1. What she taught me about murder
Pop icon Olivia Newton-John is the rare actress whose career has grown through many different stages. See the article : A new high-tech mattress ‘coaxes the body to sleep faster’, researchers find.
Despite all this, Olivia contributed to another loss of innocence.
Some of us had the misfortune to meet death ourselves when we were children; for others it will be a song or a TV show, a passing note or something newsy.
Newton-John’s record of the folk ballad Banks of Ohio was released in 1971. It’s about a hero who drags his beloved to a river to stab them in the heart.

It was like the inside of my hand was pressed

I’m not ready for forever.
I can’t imagine being exposed before to the idea of death, let alone murder. I associate it with the small sound of a portable AM radio. I have ONJ’s honey sounds forever related to the visceral realization that a human being can intentionally kill another person.
Heavy metal and hip hop are the traditional punching bags for parents worried about harmful content. But people let their guard down around ONJ.
Shaggin’ Wagon, a cover band that launched around 1993, did what it said on the label: it rocked the hell out of 1970s songs.
We’ve combined a few interesting subplots – say, Silver Lady by David Soul, or Ebony Eyes by Bob Welch – with what we think of as the ultimate powerhouse by the likes of Big Star, The Soft Boys , The dB’s, The Dadi and Abba.
There’s always a blast of hard rock – Kiss, Alice Cooper – and Australian artists like The Numbers, Model and Dragon. Although the repertoire is constantly changing, there are a few great crowd pleasers to bring down the house.
One of mine, as a poet for a while, was hopeless towards you. What started as half a game I took with pleasure. It’s a great song, with a great key change from A major in the verses to F major in the chorus through G minor.
“There is no place to hide”, says the activist on this tragic point, harmoniously so removed from the desire for pleasure.
I started looking for Olivia’s other songs. I picked up 45 of Love Under Love and realized it was some kind of masterpiece; like Without Hope he teamed up with long-time Newton-John collaborator John Farrar.
3. What she taught me about the girl-next-door
It’s a beautiful, somewhat labyrinthine poem. To see also : The Cleveland Guardians release “Are You Ready?”, The team’s second original music track. I still enjoy playing the guitar.
Despite my party trick of (usually) being able to hit a high F at the end of Without Hope, the upper octave required for Love Songs is beyond me.
The effort further educated me about the skill requirements Olivia had neglected. The range is so wide that no matter how much I change it, I can’t remove the small verses and the main chorus.
I already knew she was good – and I can never claim to be anywhere near ONJ’s competition – but this was just more confirmation that my body had learned.
Olivia is not entirely satisfied with the Body. She loves the song but wonders: can she get away with it?
Tired of flirting and drama, the hero wants to get down to him: “There is nothing to talk about unless he is lying”.
The record was banned in Utah and South Africa because of its content (!). The video further fueled the fire, covering a “gay match” (two men leaving the gym holding hands).
Each bit of controversy furthered what was already pop’s greatest record. Body topped the US charts for 10 weeks in 1981 and was one of the biggest songs of the decade. And if Body wasn’t enough, the follow-up was Move On Me.
You’d be forgiven for feeling the theme.
Body, the album, is almost more of a professional pop star trying to get a little bit of flavor. None of the six photos of Newton-John on the cover show her looking at the camera, or even with her eyes open.
