peter Garrett -midnight oil

Frustrating one is an image of an autograph from a book signing.
One is an IP of one of my own photographs he signed for me.
The difference is startling.

Big difference.
I doubt the Americans would know who he is.

Yes, I know Mr. Garrett! He's the tall, slender, bald Aussie lawyer, singer. I thought Midnight Oil had some great songs. "Beds are Burning" sings about the history essentially of European (and European offspring's) imperialism and colonialism and its effects. But MO also had other very good songs as well.

I met him with midnight oil back in the days. I have a very funny story about Peter.
Two of my friends asked him for his autograph, so he took their pen and paper and wrote something on the paper and left. When they looked at the papers one said love and the other missed me? But no signature! They were not too thrilled.

And my signatures look even worst than this.

That's funny Bjarne! How can we dance when the earth is turning, how do we sleep while our beds are burning. I know who he is Mate! :-)

Somebody was nice enough to swing me this, if this sheds any light on the book you had signed. He apparently signs with a scribble sometimes. Were you there when you got your book signed?

yep thats his signature...I wasnt there when signed ordered through bookstore but I have ones where he has signed like this before....I just find it weird and disingenuous to people paying for the book to have such a non descript signature which isnt even his normal autograph....
