This is a great biography to prove how rigged the music industry is and how nearly impossible it is for a local musician in Australia to genuinely break. John Farnham does not deserve the title "Australian icon" considering he is from England and was not born in Australia. The focus he got could have gone towards someone/ or someones in Australia who actually originated there. He could have had his focus given to him back in England so my biggest issue here with the overall "Australian icon" is how unauthentic his whole story is and didn't really have anything too unique to offer, Whispering Jack is just very okay compared to The Beatles Rubber Soul album which is so much more meaningful and of the same place where Johnny actually originated from. Also everything has poorly been put together, the film poster, the slapped on fonts from something like Dafont and the whole documentary just containing heaps of footage mostly elaborating on how great he is, elaborating on little silly details like his hair, nice looks etc.. not really providing anything too authentic to factually label him as Australia's singer icon. - Retro John (Original Review)
