I don't think it's just Australian bands who sing about themselves either. What a pity more musicians couldn't sing about something good, like Midnight Oil and U2 and Metallica and Black Sabbath and Megadeth (And thousands of other bands of many genres) did! I mean in the end it IS their choice, but I dunno I'd rather write about something to motivate people, whether its a song about being happy and optimistic, or something about getting people to think about the wrong doings of the world. Not that everyone should copy and do that, but it'd be great to have more of them!
