Jordan Luck has just been inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame. In fact, the first person to be so honoured. A little surprising that he was put there ahead of some others - say for example a Finn brother or Dave Dobbin. Personally, I couldn't be happier - Jordan penned some truly memorable songs. Of course I may be biased - he grew up in the same small country town as me and went to the same school - we were in the same soccer team for a season. Even then you could tell he was destined for some sort of fame. He was a bit strange and a bit different which isn't usually a good thing in the rural heartland and yet he managed to have the sort of charisma that made him popular with everybody. Quite a trick and something that you may wish you could bottle and sell.
