Ron Rude

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ron Rude is a rock and roll musician in Melbourne, Australia. He was part of the post punk "little band scene" that flourished in Melbourne in the late 1970s - 1980s, and is best known for staging a hunger strike in the window of local record shop Missing Link, with the demand that local radio station 3XY play his records. From 2001 to 2003, the hunger strike was the subject of a play called 3XY Or I Die. Since 2001, Rude has been performing new material with a new band called the Ron Rude Renaissance.
