Boonie’s Mullet Talks - Exclusive! by Steve Fellows

Goodness! I went to link to this article whilst adding Steve’s latest brilliant news report when I realised I hadn’t even added Boonie’s Mullet Talks - Exclusive! to ausculture.com’s rapidly swelling collection of articles! So here it is, ladies and gentlemen - enjoy.

Boonie’s Mullet Speaks For The First Time! by Steve Fellows

“I first met David in the heady days of the early 80’s. Those were good times - Allan Border wasn’t cranky yet, Kim Hughes wasn’t crying, and Jackie McDonald was stealing Darrel’s thunder on Hey Hey.

Thanks to the popularity of Supertest Cricket and the Cock-Rock phenomenon, haircuts like myself were all the rage. The combination of ‘business at the front, pleasure at the back’ appealed to a new generation trying to establish its own identity.

I was single and looking for a man (or man-ish woman) when a hairdresser friend introduced me to a squat Tasmanian nicknamed ‘Boonie’. Thus began a wonderful symbiotic relationship that lasted well into the early 90’s.

Times were a-changing though. Despite having helped Boonie through his 54 tin marathon and numerous centuries, he unceremoniously dumped me in favour of a more ‘mainland’ haircut.

Naturally I was shattered, and spent 10 long years in hiding until I met a young fast bowler named Jason. Together we are working to bring the mullet back into fashion.”
