About The Sailors
Review: The Sunday Age July 24 People have been deriding Melbourne's The Sailors as vulgar, offensive, sexist, racist, homophobic one-trick ponies for years. But they're not. Well they are pretty vulgar, and the lyrics are distasteful, but if you listen to the snarling Cracker in the Niggertonk, the sing-speak of I Wanna be Black, and the almost-sweet refrains of Back in the Closet, it's obvious that The Sailors are challenging prejudices by subverting stereotypes. Then again, maybe they just write dick jokes. Regardless, last I checked, rock music was supposed to be confrontational and offend your grannie. The Sailors still write a damn fine rock tune either way. Ruth Brown
