Present
Contrary to many poorly researched articles, Barry has never left the music industry. He continued to play shows Australia wide from the time he began in 1959 until 2006 when he took a well-deserved break from showbiz to spend time with his grandchildren. But once a rocker always a rocker, and after only two years of retirement Barry was talked into doing a comeback concert in Melbourne playing to a sold-out crowd. The 'Big Boy of Rock' proved he still has what it takes to get the crowd moving.

Famous quotes containing the word present:
“In the present state we are in, we find such a strong sympathy and union between our souls and bodies, that the one cannot be touched or sensibly affected, without producing some corresponding emotion in the other.... We are not angels, but men cloathed with bodies, and, in some measure governed by our imaginations.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“We are always acting on what has just finished happening. It happened at least 1/30th of a second ago. We think we’re in the present, but we aren’t. The present we know is only a movie of the past.”
—Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
“Keep your hands clean and pure from the infamous vice of corruption, a vice so infamous that it degrades even the other vices that may accompany it. Accept no present whatever; let your character in that respect be transparent and without the least speck, for as avarice is the vilest and dirtiest vice in private, corruption is so in public life.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
