With its crisp guitars and start-stop tempos, "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" became a radio favorite worldwide, and Get Born sold over three million copies as a result. Jet also received seven ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) nominations, six of which were awarded to the band. European dates with Oasis followed in summer 2005, and the sophomore effort Shine On arrived in fall 2006. The band maintained a steady touring pace and contributed a song to the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack. Following a short break, Jet reconvened in 2008 to begin work on a third album, which arrived one year later as Shaka Rock. They toured as support for Green Day and Powderfinger, but went on hiatus in 2010 and were fully disbanded in 2012. Jet were back in business after several years, however, playing headlining shows in Australia during early 2017.Jet is an alternative rock band which formed in 2001 in Melbourne, Australia. The band consists of Nic Cester (vocals, guitar), Cameron Muncey (guitar, vocals), Mark Wilson (bass) and Chris Cester (drums). They have released three albums: "Get Born" (2003), "Shine On" (2006) and "Shaka Rock" (2009). The band has had international hits with the singles "Are You Gonna Be My Girl", "Look What You've Done", "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" and "She's A Genius". The band split in March 2012 but reformed in 2016.
Biography by MacKenzie Wilson
There are other bands with the same name:
2. Jet were a glam rock band from London. They released one eponymous album in 1975 before splitting up. The band formed in 1974 with a line-up of Andy Ellison (vocals, ex-John's Children, solo artist), Martin Gordon (bass, ex-Sparks), Chris Townson (drums, formerly in John's Children and Jook), David O'List (lead guitar, ex-member of The Nice and an early member of Roxy Music) and Peter Oxendale (keyboards for a short-lived live version of Sparks). The bulk of the band went on to become the punk/new wave band Radio Stars.
3. Before Black 'N Blue, Jaime St. James began his professional music career while a student at Cleveland High School, where he and classmates Dan Kurth, Barry Pendergrass, and Ray Malsom formed the Molly Hatchet-inspired combo Jet. Jet are featured prominently in the 1977 Legend, the yearbook of Cleveland High School.

Put your finger in the handgun
I fall down and I try to get up
But you smack me like a pinball
Soul, where did it go?
Climb to the top of the mountain but your still alone
Kicken' down your front door
That's all lies
(I wanna see, yes I wanna see)
That's all lies
(But everybody close the door on me)
That's all lies
(I think I'll download a brand new head)
That's all lies
(I'm already dead)
And I think I've seen the light,
Yeah I, I'm gonna be here a long time
My my, at it again
But you said you don't need it
My my, pie in the sky
Ain't ever gonna hit me
Soul, where did it go?
Climb to the top of the mountain break your backbone
Kicken' at your front door
But your never home
That's all lies
(I wanna see, yes I wanna see)
That's all lies
(But everybody close the door on me)
That's all lies
(I think I'll download a brand new head)
That's all lies
(I'm already dead)
And I think I've seen the light,
Yes I think I see the light, I'll be here for a long time, Yeah.
The lyrics to Jet's song "That" suggest a feeling of confusion and frustration with oneself and the world around them. The line "Put your finger in the handgun" could be interpreted as a symbol of self-harm or self-destruction, while "smack me like a pinball" could represent feeling bounced around and lost. The repetition of "That's all lies" suggests a lack of trust in others and possibly even oneself. The chorus "And I think I've seen the light, Yeah I, I'm gonna be here a long time" could be seen as a moment of hope or determination, that despite feeling lost and alone, the singer plans to stick it out.
Overall, the song seems to capture the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of negativity and self-destruction but with a glimmer of hope that things can change for the better.

Today Feb 20 2022 ... marks the 63rd anniversary of the Arrow Cancellation ...
some Facts about the arrow:
.- it's design specification air 7.3 has NOT been met since ... not bt any fighter aircraft made to date.
- the Iroquois Ps-13 engine was capable of taking the arrow to Mach 2.5 without after burners mach 3.1 to 3.4 with ( by calculations) ... the sr71 was capable of mach 3.1 to 3.4 at best
- the arrow was able to fly to 100,000feet ... same as the sr71
- The arrow holds 15 first of all fighter aircraft and NO fighter aircraft can say they dont have some aspect of the arrow made into it's design
- March 1959 the sr71 was a SWEPT wing aircraft about to be cancelled ... approximately 15 Arrow engineers came to work on this program and the sr71 went from trash to a still flying plane today
- The Arrow was NEVER proto typed ...it was all built on a direct to production line system known as the Cook-Craige Method
- since the arrow Cancellation NO NDP minister has sat in the prime ministers chair since
- in 2023 the arrow will be 70 years old from it's inception

“the Iroquois Ps-13 engine was capable of taking the arrow to Mach 2.5 without after burners mach 3.1 to 3.4 with ( by calculations) ...”
You don’t have a link to those calculations, do you? I’m asking because even with PS13, the aerodynamic difference between MK I & MK II isn’t that great, so the improvement would have to come mostly from a much more powerful powerplant. By my calculations, which conservatively subtracted 3,000 pounds as the difference between 2 J75’s and 2 lighter Orendas, the thrust-to-weight ratio is only the difference between .77 and .67. As a comparison, the F-14D, which has a wider T/W advantage over the F-14A (0.93 to 0.72) isn’t that much faster than the older plane, because the 2 are aerodynamically similar. A better engine wasn’t enough to turn a Mach 2+ airframe into a Mach 3 airframe.
“the arrow was able to fly to 100,000feet ... same as the sr71”
And your evidence for that is..what? Published reports I’ve read had it topped out at about 60,000 feet, and MK III was only going to notch that up to 70,000.
“March 1959 the sr71 was a SWEPT wing aircraft about to be cancelled ... approximately 15 Arrow engineers came to work on this program and the sr71 went from trash to a still flying plane today”
Actually, the SR-71 was based on the A-12, which was on its way to being developed in 1958-59. Canadian engineers put out of work may have gone to work for Lockheed, and maybe Kelly Johnson (the same guy who worked on the P-38, the P-80, The F-104, the U-2 and a host of other iconic aircraft) made good use of them, but the idea that the SR-71 (or A-12) was about to be cancelled is speculative at best. What isn’t speculative is that the resulting airplane looks and lies nothing like Arrow, the plane those Canadian engineers had recently been working on.
“The Arrow was NEVER proto typed ...it was all built on a direct to production line system known as the Cook-Craige Method”
Let’s face it, they didn’t choose that method because they thought they had any choice. In 11 months, the Arrows had flown about 70 hours, which was less than flown by the F-106 per month during its testing.

@Gordesm
The F-4 was decidedly superior in almost every metric, save high altitude g-loading.
Multirole.
Just as fast.
Just as high.
Better radar & fire control.
Better armament.
Better cockpit visibility.
Far better payload.
Carrier-capable.
A2A refueling-capable
The F-4 still remains in service today - 63 years after the types first flight.

One of the tragedies of this story is that Diefenbaker never should've gotten the government involved if he didn't plan to see it through to completion. Cancelling it meant $260 or more was wasted!! Then they wasted the same amount again on useless missles! The Arrow should have been completed and put into service!

You'll have to pin that on Louis St. Laurent - the program began under his government & would've likely ended under his government had he won the '57 election.

EXCELENTE DOCUMENTÁRIO...... PARABÉNS AO CANAL......
Corey and Nathaniel Chartier
When the Arrow was scrapped, the only thing it could have done to Soviet bombers was to ram them. It had no radar, no armament, no weapons guidance system. It couldn't be refueled in the air. It didn't have the range to 'Patrol' the Arctic. It was built by a country that didn't have the military budget to continue building different jets for a rapidly changing world military situation. Aside from these facts, if Ivan had attacked over the pole, these aircraft would not have been able to stop them. Also, Ike knew that the drunken Russian Bully was bluffing, and that Ivan knew that if his bombers ever began attacking North America, our B-36 and later B52 (plus the RAF) would have incinerated every major city in the Soviet Union, being on 24-7 patrol with nukes at the ready. BTW, there was quite a 'brain-drain' from Europe, when AVRO Canada sniped engineers from European A/C firms during the post-war decline in, especially, British firms. So please, stop blaming America for all of your problems. You Canadians have a easy time, letting US defend the hemisphere.

@corey and Nathaniel. Absolutely right. If it ever went into production they had decided to use an “off the shelf” fire control system by Hughes Aircraft. It would have also used US missiles as the missile that was destined to be on the Arrow was being co developed between Avro and the US Navy but the USN canceled the missile but let Avro continue the development until Avro gave up on it and just decided on ready made US missiles. This aircraft was a long way from going into production. I’m surprised they didn’t cancel it sooner.

Thank you I love it.The truth is amazing isn't it. The new untested engines were in one of them OMG! Lmfao !
They don't seem to understand the day Sputnik was launched ballistic missiles made bombers obsolete. That pig was enough fighter it was a piss-poor excuse for an interceptor
Leo Arc
Great documentary!
Many thanks.

That's an excellent 1:1 model - well done.

Well done, Canada!

Exactly what I think right now. I, as one, think that you do not just destroy something that you have just put that much money into....OK there were five of them, well one goes to this museum and one goes to that museum, like that. What really upset me the most was they destroyed all the plans....???and the tools??? None of any of that makes any kind of sense. Michael said that, bye for now my friends.
