Eric McCusker's imprint on Australian pop music is awesome. Think songs like 'Come Said the Boy', 'Summer of '81', 'Chemistry' and a little ditty called 'State of the Heart', just part of his songwriting contribution to Mondo Rock, plus being a bloody good guitar player. 

In this expansive chat with Kevin, Eric fills in the days before Mondo Rock - a musical adventure and apprenticship that crossed the globe - and his experiences as part of one of this country's most prolific pop bands. 

From meeting Elvis in Hawaii to choosing music over medicine, Eric has had a most entertaining and interesting life journey.
