Accidentally Kelly Street

Kelly's Gone Viral

The corner of cool and happening, the hallowed  streets of Collingwood, are not the first places you'd expect to see a a To Her Door rendition being eaten up the locals, but as I wandered by with musical confidant Charlie Murray, I saw just that.

Paul Kelly also dominated the broadsheet arts sections heralding the release of his memoir How To Make Gravy. Paul Kelly's been telling stories for years. His story, your story - stories of power, disenchantment, justice, love. Everthing basically. And judging by the extract, the upcoming memoir, which started off as a few notes to his A-Z live music project, will be a pearler.

When speaking to The Australian on the memoir Kelly said, "I didn't set out to write a tell-all type of biography...My main rule was that it had to be an interesting piece of writing...when I realised it was turning into an accidental memoir then I had to honour that."

Well, PK, we salute you.
