There was absolutely no other information on the CD cover at all apart from the fact that it was made in the UK. Does anybody know whats on the album? I assume its a CD of interviews. Just on another note. I was going through my music video selection on the weekend and rediscovered a video called "Australian Made" which was a video of a concert tour (1986 I think) by a bunch of Australian bands around the Australia. INXS headlined the tour with an Australian artist called Jimmy Barnes (which some of you may remember did a duet with INXS on a song called "Good Times" which charted well in the US. You can find it on the Lost Boys soundtrack). Off the top of my head INXS do five songs including an excellent version of "I'm melting in the sun","Burn for you", original released version of "The Loved One" which in my opinion is a better version than the one on "Kick", an excellent version of "What you Need" much better than "Live Baby Live", and finally "Good Times" with Jimmy Barnes". If your an INXS fan you might want to seek this one out. For those that are interested the other artist's on the video include: Jimmy Barnes, The Models, The Divinyls, The Saints, I'm Talking. Craig. ____________________________________________________________________ Craig Pinkerton (a.k.a.

Hi Craig, The "Talk" series is made by a company in UK called Bak-To Bak and they seemed to do a number of licensed interview-only records and cds, including other artists. They've issued these interviews in many formats - most notably 7", 12" and cd picture disks (and in the case of INXS, a box set w/cd with 2 photos). They're usually plentiful on the collectors market and I believe (correct me if I'm wrong someone), the INXS clock a few people have, "talked" about recently has something to do with this company. They market the hell out of their products, always reissuing the same old interviews over and over, but in different formats (this one is from early Kick era, I believe). Unfortunately, they are NOT worth much money (if you're building a collection), so don't get snow balled into spending any real money on them. Probably $10-13 US for that cd is all it's worth. Hope this helps (but I will say, they are one of the few picture disks available, but they're not from any of INXS' official record companies).

I can't say if this particular issue (trading homemade tapes) has ever been a huge sticking point with them. I think they understand the quality of these things are usually not very good and only a select few of die-hard fans who buy all their commercial releases anyway and attend their concerts are, for the most part, the only people interested in collecting homemade tapes. This would be a good question to ask the band in the future, then we'll all know how they feel about it. I'm sure they'd never have a special section at their concerts for home tapers (like the Grateful Dead did)!! I know Kirk attended an industry conference in Canberra last year that addressed the issue of piracy of official recordings and bootlegging (which dealt with the cd's you mentioned). Maybe Kirk can tell us more about what he learned and what the industry standards are about this. Like - what if the concert is broadcast on the radio or tv and fans tape these and trade them around? Is that illegal? We'd all learn something about this important issue for sure! Hope this helps!

Anyway, just a little more about me...I'm 24, a psychology major, and a dancer(ballet,jazz,tap).I have a few interesting INXS experiences to share including one where I gave Michael Hutchence a hateful "what-are-you-looking-at?" kind of look unknowingly.:( This is a fairly complicated and embarassing incident so I won't bother explaining it here. Needless to say, I'm still kicking myself in the rear for that one!!! I'm really excited that I found Neil Kothari's INXS page because I live in a fairly bleak place where INXS info, music and the like are next to impossible to find. Let's face it I live in nowhere-ville! (Use your best southern accent here...) I live in Huntsville, Alabama.(GASP!):)I think there is an unwritten law here that says after the age of eighteen you are supposed to listen only to country music.I think that's why I get looked at so strangely for mentioning what kind of music I like, especially when I mention INXS. It's usually..."INXS who?" or "INXS, they're still around?" ARRGG! It just makes me VERY IRRITATED! That's why I was so glad to come across Neil's page. I read some of the list archives and I kept finding myself laughing because I often shared the same opinions and views about INXS (mainly ones about certain members in particular...he.he.)I'm really looking forward to sharing my thoughts and opinions about INXS with someone other than my boyfriend, who I know is probably tired of hearing me talk to him about them!

I know I just got on the list yesterday,but I found an interesting little tidbit about INXS on Adam Curry's Cybersleaze.(I definitely think SLEAZE is the appropriate term to use when referring to this site, but I digress...)The beginning of the "news?" bit read in bold letters..."HAS BEEN BAND RESURFACING ALERT (PART II): INXS..." And, if that wasn't bad enough they go on and get the name of THE STRANGEST PARTY wrong and called it STRANGER'S PARTY?!(Can we say, get a clue?) The good part, if there is one in this story, is that INXS will be making their first appearance together since 1994 (according to this article) by appearing on the Platinum Europe Awards in Brussels, Belgium. They quote a man named George Ellis as saying, "We were thrilled when Michael Hutchence said the band would be there - it's guaranteed to be the highlight of the evening." As it most definitely will be!:) When I read that part I was happy and ready to forget how this whole story started until I read the next line..."The sleaze peanut gallery has chosen to refrain from making any nasty comments about this story, even though we really want to." I think I'LL refrain from making any nasty comments myself and leave with this... My grandfather, who had a local television show for 25 yrs., always said, "I don't care what they say about me as long as they're still talkin'. It's when they stop that you have to worry." Indeed, at least they're talking about INXS (and not certain member's personal lives). Let's hope the new album will make them eat their words! "Has-been band?" HA!

Well, heck, just what can you expect from Adam "Hair" Curry. Right, he was the brains on Mtv.

And, if >that wasn't bad enough they go on and get the name of THE STRANGEST PARTY >wrong and called it STRANGER'S PARTY?!(Can we say, get a clue?) Actually that was probably their way of being insulting to the band. 'Has been band', indeed. Sheesh, INXS laid tracks down for other bands if you ask me. I think for a band that's been labeled as punk/new wave, INXS has put a lot of class into that particular type of music. And when you're busy worrying about what your hair looks like you don't have time to get all the info right. After all, which is more important? (no insult meant to the females of the group who 'do their hair' everyday. I just think Adam Curry's a joke.) >"Has-been band?" HA!

Hope noone gets mad `cause it's very long ,sorry,here goes... My boyfriend and I arrived early at one of their concerts in Birmingham, Alabama in 1994 and were sitting about 12 rows from the stage. We were the only ones in the lower part of this ampitheatre at the time with the exception of two people to our far right and two to our far left.Since it was still daylight the stage itself was visible but off to the sides and to the back of the stage was in shadows. In that area I saw a congregation of roadies all dressed mostly in black.Out of the group I noticed one guy in particular who kept staring at my boyfriend and I.He was dressed in all black and was smoking a cigarette. He had curly long hair that appeared to fall right at his cheekbones and his face was in the shadows so I couldn't make it out very well but I and my boyfriend could tell he was staring. Well, I thought, it couldn't be Michael Hutchence! His hair was about shoulder length in the pictures I had seen of him that year so I immediately ditched that idea. But, this guy kept staring and I got really annoyed. The funny thing was that I kept staring, too. I asked my boyfriend why he thought that guy was staring at us and he had no idea. I decided to let him know it was impolite to stare and gave him the most hateful look I could. HMPH! That will show him, I thought, but he kept staring and as if part of myself could sense the truth and not my mind :) I kept staring, too. Later when INXS came out Michael Hutchence was wearing ALL black and he had CUT his hair and it hit right at his cheekbones!!! This did not register in my brain(I was too excited, it was my first INXS concert) until we were driving home on the interstate.Then I put two and two together, got really excited, and then felt REALLY STUPID AND EMBARRASED!!!:( My boyfriend laughed at me all the way home!!! The moral of this story is like they always say never give someone an obscene hand gesture as you could be "gesturing" to someone you know (as I've done once before...)therefore, never give a hateful look to someone lurking in the shadows as it could be someone YOU PAID GOOD MONEY TO SEE!!!

Seems like a great idea to me. Promotion is the key to success (as ID4 so aptly proves). In any event, why not release a promo CD of INXS hits or a promo video collection of some great INXS clips and send them to radio stations and video channels? Better yet, send a press release along with the package announcing the forthcoming album this fall.... I think it could work pretty well for them! In addition, Mercury really should be getting something together for the band on the internet (I'm not knocking you guys, Dana, but the label should really be beginning now as they are going to need to work extra hard in order to break the band in the mainstream again.)

Didn't mean the Atlantic material, I understand that Mercury doesn't want to promote another record company's material. However, let's be realistic, until INXS gets a couple of albums recorded with Mercury just about everyone (except the list members) are going to associate the band with the older Atlantic material. >Promoting now would be a waste of time and money.

Obviously we don't mean and ID4 type promotion (but that would be great) but how about getting the band on talk shows (Letterman, Leno, Conan etc.). Just remind people that the band is still around. How many of us have heard people say "Oh are they still together? Getting their names in music magazines (not tabloids like poor Michael). I agree, not a blitz, but a slow entering into the public eye again. Peak the public's curiosity so when October comes around they'll want to buy the album and not be sick of the band. >I don't know what's happening with the website, but I'll keep you updated.

Think about it - getting the band on talk shows now would involve taking them away from their work on the album, financing their trips to the shows and juggling schedules to get them on all of the shows (they all have policies about how much time has to pass before they will duplicate guests). Plus, after all that, if we get them on now, we won't be able to get them on when the album comes out, which is a more important time. The host has to be able to give a reason for them to be on - picture Dave waving a CD around and a viewer thinking "Hmmm, I should go buy that." If INXS is on a show now, what does he wave around? One of the Atlantic releases? That doesn't make it worth Mercury's while. The re-entering the public eye will probably happen around the release of the first single, which will probably be in September. That's just far enough ahead of the album to create the awareness we need. The impact of the single is an unknown quantity right now, but we'll see. When that single comes, the advances of the album will already be in the hands of the press so that reviews will be out around the album release date. Don't worry about press - the Mercury press dept. is very good, plus INXS will probably have an outside publicist as well. I didn't write that Mercury is not going to put them on the website, I just wrote that I don't yet know what's happening. I'm sure that there will be something good up - just look at the Bon Jovi stuff. That one is really well done and we all know that INXS has the potential to bring in sales on Bon Jovi's scale. I don't mean to sound defeatist on the advance publicity, I'm just being realistic from a record company's point of view. Hope this clears it up! :-) Dana Date: Sat, 13 Jul 1996 16:47:49 -0400 X-Sender: sue@mail.mdc.net To: INXS-list@iastate.edu From: Sue Subject: Your First INXS experience Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: Sue As I'm sitting around here bored because now tropical storm Bertha is paying a visit to my area I got thinking about hearing everyone's story about how they first came to listen to INXS.

My mother (who has always had great taste in music) had the little record single and I completely adored it and played it over and over. Soon after I started buying more of their music. For some reason, I think I can remember hearing 'Dancing On the Jetty' on the radio. I'm not sure if this is a valid memory or not. Anyone know if this was actually played on stations? My good friend for years, Heather, and I used to watch the videos of 'This Time' and 'Don't Change' and go ga-ga over every move any of them made! We were die-hards! My younger brother would look at us like we were nuts. Oh! Also INXS was the first group I saw in concert and one of the best. Unfortunately I haven't seen them live since that first time.

I remember I first saw the video when I skipped school and went to someone's house who had MTV. I never liked the song when it first came out. But, as I heard it more and more, I came to love it and it became one of my favorite songs. However, I was not yet an INXS fan. Then in 1987 Kick came out. Need You Tonight was the first single, and I didn't like it. I remember watching Top of the Pops and seeing INXS perform it live. Micheal was wearing some spandex shorts or something and I remember thinking to myself, "This guy looks gay." However, the song grew and grew on me until I bought the single. Devil Inside came out. Loved it right away. Bought the single. Then, I went out on a limb and bought the Kick cassette. That was a big move for someone on my budget. And it was a smart move. That summer (1988) I went tot Toronto for a couple of months. They had a date there (August 6). So I saw them live (my very first concert ever). After that, I was a *total* die hard fan.

My grandmother told me once that she didn't like me watching the video for The One Thing because she thought parts of it were a little too suggestive for my eyes(i.e. the woman eating the fruit that looked like a certain body part that shall remain nameless...) But I didn't know what was going on, I was only about 11 at the time.I just know every time it came on I remained glued to the tube with mouth agape.This went on for years after that,but I never went to buy their records. I was too in love with Duran Duran to buy anyone else's records and plus my mom couldn't afford it. So one day in 1990 I got a wild hair and bought Kick for two dollars at a pawn shop and in 1992 I ended up doing a dance to Taste it in a mall fashion show of all places. Much like the video the dance was a little too much for the Bible belt city I live in and the choreographer (who hailed from N.Y.C.) got a lot of flack. But I loved it!!! (the people in this city needed a jolt, they get offended by a billboard with a woman in a bathing suit on it!) Needless to say Taste it became my favorite song and I began buying all of inxs' records.

A few fans have been debating and discussing the ins and outs of this as a title for the lp. I'd like to know what you think and will forward your comments on to the band. Some people immediately associated it as a Keith Richards/Rolling Stones thing (the older fans anyway), as that tag line always appeared around his name, especially during the Exile On Main Street era. They say it's been done already and the music press will pick up on it, and you know how the music press can be! Screaming "copycats" or whatever. Maybe it's really not an issue? Other people have a concern about the image it congures up. Considering the resurgence of heroin overdoses, drug-related suicides and deaths of rock musicians and the general media hysteria recently about drug use in the recording industry, they say it's inappropriate and could alienate concerned perspective buyers from buying the cd. Someone said, "what parent is going to buy this INXS cd for their teenage kid for Christmas with a title like that?". Are they being too sensitive? Does it give the image of a fashionably dressed junkie slumped in a corner of an expensive hotel room? That's what's been said anyway. A few people think it's quite groovy and catchy. Something to chew on. What do you think? Post your comments to the list or directly to me. Thanx.

Well as an adult who's not influenced by my peers, the media etc. I see no problem with it, however with all the heroin deaths, most recently the keyboardist for the Smashing Pumpkins I think the band may get alot of flap from the family values types, and yes I agree, mommie is not going to buy a record for little bobby that's titled Elegantly Wasted. It may not be the wisest idea to make being wasted sound elegant. Then again, I haven't heard the song so I have no idea what it's about. >it's been done already and the music press will pick up on it, and you know >how the music press can be!

I'm just thoroughly excited that, after 3 years, we finally have a new album coming our way. The fact that they have come up with a title just makes the anticipation grow. My first INXS experience: I heard "What You Need" on the radio, and couldn't get enough of it. I bought the single and every possible remix. The first time I saw them live was on the "Kick" tour here in Chicago. They sold out a 20,000 seat arena in less than 5 minutes! My friend's father got her 4 front row tickets to that show and I was lucky enough to be invited! Let's just say it was very loud...and incredible.

INXS was on tour with Adam Ant and I went to see them at St. John's U. in Queens (big trip for a Manhattan girl). After the show, I went around back to watch the bands leave and wound up meeting Michael and Garry. On a whim, I wrote a letter to Garry. I got a reply a few weeks later and the rest, as they say, is history! Dana PS - the album is STILL on the release schedule for October 22nd.

They played "Don't Change". After finally finding out who sang it I went and bought the cassette even though I didnt recognize any of the songs on it or ever even heard of INXS before. When I put the tape in "The One Thing" came on and I said "Hey, I've heard that one" then finally got to "Don't Change" which at that time was the only other song I liked on the whole album. I wondered why the best song was the last song on the album. Anyway, I guess it was a couple of years later I heard a new song, called "Send a Message". I called the radio station up as soon as I heard it and asked what the name and group was. They said "INXS" and thought hey this band puts out music I like even though none of the songs sound the same. So I bought the Swing and came to like "Melting in the Sun", "Burn for You", and the other one before that which I cant remember, as well as "Send a Message". Then Listen Like Thieves came out and I went and bought it after hearing What You Need on the radio. Then came Kick. It seemed like they played "I need you Tonight" for months and I hated it. It was that weird noise they put it there. I finally went ahead and bought it since it was INXS and I liked their previous hits. I still remember hearing "New Sensation" for the first time thinking "Hey that guitar sound is catchy". I listened to "Need You Tonight" and then "Mediate". I liked Mediate better but since the beat sounded pretty much the same I started liking "Need You Tonight". Later "Need You Tonight" became one of my favorite(and still is) INXS songs. When Kick had their ,oops, I mean when INXS had their stardom in '87 I was really glad to see it as I grew up through high school listening to their music. I thought that X and Welcome were okay but not as good as the preceding albums. FMDH never did appeal to me and I haven't listened to it in over a year. I am, however, looking forward to the new album.

Sure, it's full of bravado and swagger, but "Elegantly Wasted" would just make them sitting ducks for the media (as has been said before). However PC it is, glorifying drugs in the current music scene is just a no-no, not to mention downright stupid. As well, when I first heard the song title, I definitely thought of Keith Richards (and I'm a young guy who has always despised the Stones). INXS need to return to the main stage minus any over-blown egos, keeping things simple in terms of image. Having such a title would obscure their comeback, and allow the media to simply write off the band without any attention to the music. The title I like the best is... "INXS" Why not have a self-titled release which implies, we're back, and we're ready to rock... without any fancy gimmicks or slick promotion. I kinda like it :) I'm also partial to "Return" (though the media would probably harp on that being pompous). I also like "All Access" just because it would be amusing hearing announcers say INXS' All Access... In any event, IMO, until we hear more of the song titles off the new record, they should stay away from necessarily naming the disc after one of them. neil From: NKoth@aol.com Date: Mon, 15 Jul 1996 17:18:37 -0400 To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: Re: First INXS experience Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: NKoth@aol.com Hey all, Hmm... I should keep my first INXS experiences on file, as this thread seems to pop up once a year or so... :) Well, at the ripe ol' age of 9, I first heard "The One Thing" and was (very easily) much impressed. I was going through my whole Thriller stage, though, so alas - my devotion didn't start there. Next, I remember that Duran Duran was guest VJ'ing one day on MTV (or some music video show), when they played "Burn For You." They said that it was one of their favorite songs, and I remember thinking the moniker "INXS" was extremely cool... Well, the rest is history. From "Original Sin" to "Kiss the Dirt," I was soon hooked on the band's distinctive style and music. -neil From: "John Vink" Subject: Wasted, yet Elegant To: inxs-list@iastate.edu (INXS Mailing List) Date: Mon, 15 Jul 1996 17:52:03 -0400 (EDT) Organization: Department of Computer Science, York University, Toronto Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: "John Vink" As anti-drug person, I'm rather against the thought of naming the album "Elegantly Watsted". It gives the image that the band members are a bunch of druggees. I'm still a big fan so I would still buy the album. I'm not sure if an album title would make me buy or not buy an album, but I know that seeing "parental warning" stickers on albums have convinced me not to buy an album that I was thinking about. So, it is quite possible that people would shy away from such a thing. None of the band's music has ever referred to drug use before, so I don't know why they're starting now. Bad idea.

I hate to disagree, but it really doesn't matter if there is a deeper meaning or double entendre. People are going to think drugs, so why should we (in our well-intentioned attempts at sticking up for the band) try and cover for them? Though I haven't seen the lyrics to the song (so I am being presumptuous), they probably have something to do with drugs (god knows they've done enough of them...) In any event - here's an anecdote to recall: When the British band Elastica was trying to think of a title for their debut record, Justine (the lead singer) wanted to call it, "Light Up Your Fags"...

My first response was "perfect!" However, after reading all the responses, I must change my opinion and agree - it would be controversial at this point in time. For the person that pointed out In Utero and Dookie, tho the arbortion issue rages daily, the media tends to forget what's always there to fall back on when you need filler. This situation is different. We have musicians conveniently falling dead at well spaced intervals - not far enough apart to really forget about them but just far enough apart to be sensational. I'm afraid the media probably would jump on it - they'll jump on just about anything (sorry to those media people with us). I don't know if it would affect a parent's decision to buy. My mother never bought me any music and I have no children of my own at the moment. As for Dookie - that's a silly name with only a foul language connotation. Not very controversial. At one point I thought - well what about X? That didn't have a problem - but I don't think there was a problem with X then was there? Truth be told, my brain wearies of over thinking the whole issue and I wish the truth weren't so because I for one like the title and am not reminded of K. Richards. But, I've never been average Joe Q. Public. They could call the thing birdcrap and I'd still buy it.....however, I don't think that would pay their light bills. Hope you figure it all out guys.

This was done mainly because they feel that they need more time to set everything up properly.

I think they are taking the time to think things out and make sure they properly plan the release of this album. Besides, there is usually a flood of albums released in the fall/winter months which means that INXS could easily get lost in the shuffle. This also means that the album will be fresh in everyone's minds for a Summer '97 tour. In addition, there are rumors of big-name releases this fall/winter such as U2 and Janet Jackson. I think this delay was a good decision.

Upon seeing this title, the first thing that I thought of was the band rolling around the room totaly out their minds "wasted" on alcohol and/or drugs. Not a very good image at all I say! Especially for a band that has to fight more than its fair share of bad press, especially about Michael and the constant rumours that they have broken up. > Some people immediately associated it as a Keith Richards/Rolling > Stones thing (the older fans anyway), as that tag line always appeared > around his name, especially during the Exile On Main Street era.

I really don't read too much into This may or may not make a slight difference, but no album has been named after these songs. I think that the name of the album should be more appealing to the masses, and leave the contraversy to the singles listed off that album.

I think this is a mixture of new news and old news. The new news (to me, I don't know if the list knows) is the name of the first single. The old (outdated, now incorrect) news may have been about the September release date.

If this is accurate, it is quite strange for a band to do. Releasing a single four or five months before the albums release? Typically, it is one month, two at most. I really don't think that is a smart thing to do because the record buying public does a have an extremly short attention span.

I don't want to say that you overpaid for them... but... you did. (Sorry!) These two, as Italian imports, usually go for about $20, though I have heard as high as $25. I guess you didn't do that badly... In any event, I like both of these CD's alot - I thought the quality on the first one was excellent (it's the Santa Monica Hangar show in 1993) as opposed to the second one (from the Hollywood Palladium or Hollywood Bowl or whatever its called) from 1982-3ish. The tracks on Don't Look At Me are amazing, though - from To Look At You to Rollerskating... I love both CDs, so I must say - congrats on getting them!

I think a sinlge should be released in September, and then another in January. This would mean they could do 2 rounds of promotion one for the first single, one for the album. The UK public love this approach, Oasis did it for Whats..? It just totally hypes the band up. This means the fans also get a taster of things to come. Paul Weller is also going to do this for his next album, if it's good enough for him... Also if everyone is expecting the album to go to number 1 and stay there, think again, guess who is bringing out an album in February.... Oasis. INXS need serious hype to compete with that. Thought?

I still think though that the album should have been released in time for the Christmas rush. >Also if everyone is expecting the album to go to number 1 and stay there, think again, guess who is bringing out an album in February.... Oasis. INXS need >serious hype to compete with that. Well with Michael and the Gallagher brothers feud going on I'm sure it will be hyped by the media. Both Blur and Oasis benefitted from the media battle of the bands with their albums why not Oasis and INXS. -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue Date: Thu, 25 Jul 1996 15:17:00 -0400 (EDT) From: kristin tsafos To: inxs-list@iastate.edu Subject: the baby...

Oasis actually sounds really rock n roll, Radiohead, I really don't know if there's a way to describe them, but Blur isn't like either of them. People tell me because I like Blur, I'll like Suede, and I got Dog Man Star and it was awful! Pulp is really good though.

Blur is a pop band (and they're amazing...their best is Chemical World and all of Mod Life is Rubbish), Radiohead are a band beyond description as they move so easily between genres, Oasis is a one-dimensional rock band that people will soon undoubtedly (and thankfully) tire of... Judge each band on its own merits --- not by standards of other bands, or in comparisons with other bands in their perceived genre bracket. And whoever bashed Suede -- for shame! Dogmanstar is one of my favorite albums of the decade - it can not be compared to the rest of the Britpop scene, because that would be cheapening what its about. Oh well... Of course, there's also echobelly, gene, pulp, and countless other great brit bands worth checking out... -neil Date: 26 Jul 1996 11:47:47 -0500 From: "Diab-ABD015 Basil" Subject: BRIT BANDS To: "INXS LIST" Sender: owner-inxs-list@iastate.edu Reply-To: "Diab-ABD015 Basil" Is it trendy for a Brit alternative band to give itself a one-word name? (i.e. Blur, Radiohead, Oasis, Bush, Pulp, etc.)? Just wondering. And Neil, you were right on target with Oasis. Not only are they one-dimensional, but they should be sued by the former members of The Beatles for ripping off so many of their sounds and looks (including the mop-top hair, glasses and beard...is it John Lennon reincarnated, or one of the Gallagher brothers? I can't tell!) Best example: "Champagne Supernova". I could have sworn I heard that song on the "Sgt. Pepper" album, except it was called "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". They even repeatedly use the phrase "In the Sky" in the Oasis song! Two months and counting for the new INXS single...

I was going to snip out all the tabloid stuff about Paula (I'm getting sick of it) but decided to leave the paragraph as is: MICHAEL HUTCHENCE has finally got himself a set of wheels - though for the time being he's only got two. Hutchence - a bike fanatic - has just passed his motorcycle test. The INXS frontman is also learning to drive a car so he can help girlfriend PAULA YATES take her three daughters to school. But his excursions on four wheels will have to wait - he's only just had his first lesson. Yates, too broke to afford taxis, has been walking her children to school in London, England as ex-husband BOB GELDOF has the car they once shared. Now I've seen pictures of Michael on motorcycles and wasn't he riding one in one, in I *think* the Greatest Video Hits? Driving without a license Michael, shame on you! Actually I'm wondering if maybe it's a UK license he just got? Funny he doesn't have a drivers license - I see him as Corvette sort of guy. -Sue sue@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net/~sue From: "John Vink" Subject: Re: Michael & Driving To: sue@mdc.net Date: Tue, 30 Jul 1996 22:12:57 -0400 (EDT) Cc: INXS-list@iastate.edu Organization: Department of Computer Science, York University, Toronto > MICHAEL HUTCHENCE has finally got himself a set of wheels - though for the time ..... > lesson.

Why wouldn't our friend Michael provide enough for the mother of his child to allow her to take taxis? Doesn't sound like a very close marriage.
