John Joseph Gordon (born 25 December 1963) is a songwriter from Queensland, Australia. In late 2010, he released the controversial climate change protest song Australia (Whore of the world) – which lambasts Australia's continuing coal exports, and open slather approach to mining in general. He has released 3 Albums. 'Notre Dame' (2007), 'Alive in Bornheim' (2009) and 'Souvenir' (2010) – the latter 2 were recorded in Frankfurt, Germany – and is perhaps best known for his song 'Inexorably Yours' which was covered by songstress Wendy Matthews on her 1994 Multi-Platinum album 'Lily'.
