My first rection was that it was a very poor taste April Fool's joke
.....when it became clear it was for real, I felt sick, but now it looks
as though all will be well. Thank God for that.

A couple of Neil mentions tonight,on the Aussie TV show Rockwiz,
which I hope might be seen as good omens.
Firstly, one of the guests, Donna Simpson from the Waifs, performed
a pretty good version of Powderfinger. Later in the show, the question
was asked....which singer sang about the character Cortez The Killer?

So, Neil, get well soon. Your fans here need you.
