Just my opinion, but I think that "the dreaming isn't "Macabre humor,"
but rather a statement about the stealing of Australia from
the Aboriginals..."You dangle devils in a bottle and a-pull 'em
from the pull of the bush."  The dreaming is the Creation myth/belief
if the Aboriginals, and the distinctly Aboriginal instrumentation
(with the didgeridoo) seems to augment this message.  The Australians
passed off the wonderful habit of heavy drinking onto the Aboriginals
in much the same manner as the Americans did to the Indians...

Any othert thoughts on this?
