I watched the "tribute" on channel 7 last night.. while there was some nice footage in there, I thought the sad/sombre music was a bit tacky.
Of course it's a sad event, but I don't know if that's how Steve would've wanted to be remembered.
Apparently he pulled the barb out of his chest before dying.. man what a shock to those that are close to him. Australia (especially the media) makes a habit of cutting down tall poppies, and most of us didn't truly appreciate the work he did or the contribution he made, and what a fine ambassador he was to this country. A lot of people saw his antics, said "what a fool" and dismissed him.
It's only now that he's gone, we're sad about what we're going to miss.
Maybe there's a lesson in there for us all.
