Billy Thorpe: Australia’s Loudest Man goes Quiet

By Nick Hodge | February 28, 2007

There will be many Australian sharpie Baby Boomers very quiet today. The hero of loud, Australian Rock and Roll, Billy Thorpe, died at 60 of a heart attack over night.

I wonder if in this election year, the pollies will pull a State Funeral. I hope so, as the impact his music had on that generation surpasses many who get a State funeral.

    I was saddened to hear this. His passing will be a massive loss to the Australian Swimming Community.
