"PLAYING IN THE DIRT
WE FOUND THE SEEDS OF DOUBT
DON'T WATER THEM WITH YOUR TEARS
DON'T THINK ABOUT ALL THE YEARS
YOU'D RATHER BE WITHOUT"


I first discovered the music of INXS back in 1983...The album, THE SWING was enjoying a cult following in the United States ,and young people were talking about this new group from Australia, called INXS, although few could pronounce it!!
I watched the band grow with each new release and saw them live with my friends, Traci, Rob,and Tammy on the KICK tour! MAN, people were dancing on the seats throughout the entire show! Micheal Hutchence had such an increadible presence.
And the band was so tight! After the X album in 1990, for some reason or another, sales dropped and interests waned..
Then in 1997 ELEGANTLY WASTED was released..I bought the new CD and loved it! It was such a great CD!! I started listening to all the old music, and re-bonded with INXS. I saw the Tour when it stopped in Los Angeles and even wrote a review for the AN EXCESS OF INXS website.. The band was so electric that night! Nobody sat down once! And Micheal was in top form. I felt so lucky to have caught such an electric performance...
little did I know at that time, how lucky I was, as Micheal Hutchence died just months later. That day was a horrible shock and such a tragic loss.. INXS was building up their audience again (ELEGANTLY WASTED had built them a cult again in the U.S.) and they were to begin a sold-out tour of their homeland, Australia...
Micheal and the music will live and play on in our hearts and he will be missed by many...Rest in Peace, Micheal!

you were there
two worlds collided
and they could never tear us apart"
