The only time I heard TWOTEF on Australian radio was in 1986 at Lakes Entrance, on the coast a few hours east of Melbourne. And apart from "Sundown" (a big hit across Australia) and IYCRMM (still a regular on easy-listening stations), the only other Lightfoot songs I've heard on radio here were "Anything For Love" (once) and "Stay Loose" (played by a discerning music show host after I requested it).
if it wasnt tuesday toons-day, they wouldnt have played it for the anniversary. and yes, it's just sundown and IYCRMM that i've heard before on radio. i cant stand Luke Bona anyway. lucky i heard in the background! (bring back andrew and mark!)
