In this episode of Booked On Rock, returning guest Greg Prato discusses his new book, Down Under: The Men at Work & Colin Hay Story, and explores the remarkable rise of one of the biggest bands of the MTV era—and the surprising reasons behind their rapid breakup.
We dive into the stories behind classics like "Down Under," "Who Can It Be Now?," "Overkill," and "Be Good Johnny," the band's early days in Melbourne, the creative partnership between Colin Hay and Greg Ham, the pressure of following 'Business as Usual', the Greg Ham copyright lawsuit, reunion possibilities, and why Men at Work's legacy continues to grow decades later.
If you've ever wondered how a band that dominated MTV and topped the charts could disappear so quickly, this is the story you've been waiting to hear.
