A Melbourne icon succumbs to liver cancer.
Weird but I’m a little saddened, like we’ve lost something.
(In truth I’ve been mistaken for Chopper more than once/ I’ve got a mate who could pass for Tony Mockbel…the two of us out for a beer draws the odd sideways glance)
it’s a little EARie around Collingwood tonight.
Might pop into The Retreat for a quiet one tomorrow.
good riddance to bad rubbish! self aggrandizing thug
Bad comedian, author, artist and criminal; no one would care for him if Eric Bana wasn’t such a great actor.
What’s Heath Franklin going to do now?
Plus his rap efforts were dogshit.
He did admit that Eric Bana does Chopper than he does.
I served him once in a shop. He bought a 6’ x 4’ print of Michaelangelo’s “Creation of Adam”, and 7 or 8 of the lamest country music cd’s you’ve ever seen (he wanted country cds and we had a really poor range at the shop, so he just bought a bunch anyway). I gave him a discount, just cos I was glad to be rid of those cds. He thought it was hilarious that someone like him would have a Michaelangelo print in their loungeroom and made a few self-deprecating jokes. I thought it was weird to be laughing and joking with a dude who’d killed folks.

Don’t really have an opinion on the man. I’m a big Ozzy hip hop fan but and I did like this co-lab with some ozzy legends…
His chauffeur looks like a nice guy…
That Machete track was from the Obese comp, that was really good, it’s when he started doing solo stuff it went downhill.
I heard that Bias B had to literally chop up and paste the vocals and it took about 100 takes to get it right.
He signed the poster for our hip hop show we used to do on radio adelaide to help promote it, seemed like a nice enough bloke.
Hopefully Ronnie Johns will stop now.
That guy let me jump the barriers at big day out one year.

Classic for ruining smug Elle McFeast’s TV career and calling out Alan Jones as a hypocrite in the same week.
With perhaps more than a little irony I snapped this selfie in Rome the day before he passed on.
Let’s just say Mrs. Spirito is more than relieved my mustache attempt lasted only a short while and limited to times spent in anonymity overseas. I quite liked it until one drunken evening when I was considering asking my reflection in the mirror of a restaurant bathroom if I had any drugs for sale before realizing a) it was me b) I was too drunk to recognize myself and c) the mustache was shit in every way. Still, it was fun whilst it lasted and in hindsight I wished I had jewelry to help dress it up a little.
Lookin good uncle Spirito!
What about going through customs, how was the strip search?
Hope you brought us all a slice of pizza back.
