I was fortunate to see INXS play live, once. I think I was about 16 and a group of friends and I went to the gig at the famous tennis center here in Melbourne.

Those guys sure knew how to fill a stadium and make everyone feel included!

Yeah, I agree that Michael is/was one of those amazing and rare spirits, so talented, so charismatic and impressive that his skin was barely an effective container for all of that.

I've always loved "Listen Like Thieves". And in fact, I have the wonderful double-double (2 CDs) Best Of album. And it always rocks.

RIP Michael Hutchence!

yes, Michael was always "pushing himself, daring" even in the way he died... you see, he didn't actually kill himself out of despair, but by asphyxiation during ummm... self satisfaction. he had the unique ability to allow us to see his soul through his vocals and movements. imagine what he could still be sharing if it not for the tragedy of his much too early death!
peace

Oh, thank you for this reminder and tribute. I did not know this was the anniversary of his death.

Interestingly enough, I've been playing the INXS Greatest Hits CD a lot lately...hmmmmmm.

In 1997 I was working in a cocktail bar. I was on shift when I heard the news. All the girls were devestated...

On a brighter note 22nd November is also my dear daddy's birthday AND the anniversary of the resignation of Margaret Thatcher (although you probably have to be British to understand just how AWESOME that was!! :D)
