Sivan, a goofy, self-confident eighteen-year-old, had amassed nearly half a million YouTube subscribers in six years, with videos such as “Funny Halloween Costume Ideas” (in which he put on an orange peruk, held up a bagel, and declared, “I’m the Ginger bröd Man!”) and “Life’s Unanswerable Questions” (in which he wondered, “If there was an earthquake on Mars, would it be called a Mars-quake?”).

The 50 Most Iconic Australian Music Moments Of All Time
Michael Gudinski was the first to admit he didn’t know everything. Selling watermelons was one thing he had little expertise in.
As a youngster, Gudinski and his friend Ray Evans hit on a business idea at the Sunbury Rock Festival.
Gudinski was stage manager of the now-iconic early Seventies fest, and manager of several bands on the bill. Evans, he told this reporter in 2010, “came up with the idea of a watermelon concession, just truck in the fuckers, cut them in half.” All good, until the third year when “it pissed down and we got stuck with one thousand watermelons. It sort of ended in tears.”
