Read Robert Barnard's _Death of an Old Goat_, if it's legal to down there.

It's short but sweet-- he was obviously inspired, probably by getting
dragged on a lecture tour across the broad reaches of Oz-- and you'll piss
yourself laughing.

Now there is "a bad, bad man".

(His _Death in a Gilded Cage_ and _Political Suicide_ are equal to it).

I wish he'd spent some time in the Great Honkie Heartland here in the US.
