"Angus and Malcolm were first exposed to rock stardom just shy of half a century ago, in 1965, when their older brother George became famous in Australia with his group the Easybeats – the Antipodean answer to the Beatles. "At first, I didn't even know," Young says. "I knew my brother was in bands, but I'd never seen him play. I remember coming home from school and seeing all these people outside the house, and I couldn't get in the house. There was all these police, all these schoolgirls ... I'm this little kid saying to the policeman: 'I live in this house!' 'Yeah kid, sure.' I went right round the block then asked the people behind: 'Can I go over your fence so I can get in my house?' That's how I found out my brother had a hit. My father, he said: 'You tell no one.' At school I couldn't say what my brother did. There'd be some kids at the bottom of the street saying: 'Angus, that's your brother.' And I'm going 'I'm not allowed to talk about it."


'""I thought that at times it was not Malcolm with me," Young says. "He would say at the time: 'I have good days and I have bad days.' Later on, when he got diagnosed – he had brain shrinkage, and he got diagnosed in America and they gave him some medication to help him – I said: 'Are you going to be fit for this? Because it's going to be a hefty tour.' And he said: 'We'll do it. We'll do it.' That was how he was. It was hard work for him. He was relearning a lot of those songs that he knew backwards; the ones we were playing that night he'd be relearning. He was his own driver. He himself had that thing, where you've just got to keep going."

"Widespread and gross" human rights violations in Libya, including disappearances, arrests, torture and deaths, have left nearly a third of the population suffering from mental health problems as violence and lawlessness continues, according to a new report.
Research by Dignity – the Danish Institute against Torture – shared with the Guardian, paints a devastating picture of the human consequences of the regionalism, tribalism and factionalism that have wracked the north African country since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi three-and-a-half years ago.
"Libya has a practice of not seeking help for psychological problems, and the few trained psychologists and psychiatrists have very limited experience of treating trauma and consequences of torture and war," the report said.
"In addition, severe social stigma exists regarding those affected by mental illness. Psychiatric symptoms are attributed to the act of pagan symbols like the evil eye, magic or sorcery."
Ahlam Chemlali, one of the Dignity field workers, recalled how "videos of rape and torture were so widespread and popular that people would name characters from the videos, like the 'butcher from Misrata' or the 'rapist from Brega' as if they were actors playing in a horror snuff movie. Filmed torture seems to have been a consistent way of spreading or exposing fear."
The report recalls the exhilaration in Benghazi when the Libyan revolution began in February 2011 but concludes that both the short-term consequences of the internal conflict and the long-term legacy of 42 years of Gaddafi's rule remain unaddressed.

This is wrong on so many levels. I know I need to remember any God's amount of passwords and PINs but I'd rather that than this the ultimate big brother.

I think this will be the norm in 10 years time.
