Before he was an Oil and a Minister he was a farmer

He might be best known as the singer for agit-rock band Midnight Oil but chrome-domed Australian Environment Minister Peter Garrett was frontman for Farm before that. Farm really were the Oils but peddling different tunes.

Farm allegedly stood for Fucking All Right Mate but I might have disagreed with that, if only on the strength of them playing Focus and Jethro Tool songs. Click the pic to enlarge.

Prehistoric Times (i.e. When Peter Garrett Had Hair)

Andrew Connell from Queensland sent a link to this TouTube footage of an early Midnight Oil playing a stilted and sedate version of one of their first album songs, "Used And Abused". It's most notable for the fact that Peter Garrett (now an Australian Member of Parliament and Federal Shadow Minister for the Environment) still had hair, and guitarist Jim Moginie sported a beard.
