There are a lot of cool things about being Colin Hay, but one of the coolest is the fact that his name is recognized by a whole new generation who may not even realize he was the voice of 80s monster hits like "Who Can It Be Now?" and "Down Under." Though he still tours occasionally with his band Men at Work, Hay has developed a large and wide-ranging solo catalog that includes the song "I Just Don't Think I'll Get Over You," a favorite from the Garden State soundtrack. Hay is a fine raconteur as well, as he'll surely demonstrate March 6 at the Hopkins Center for the Arts.
