After you read it, I want your opinion. Do you think I am overreacting? I'm probably not going to lose any sleep over it right now, because too much else is going on, but I think this is disgusting. I'm so mad right now that I could spit nails. The whole media issue is like beating a dead horse. Lack of coverage is one thing, but blatant disrespect is another. Not only for Michael, but for the music industry and music fans everywhere. And now it has spread to the Internet, degrading what has become very important to the INXS list. This was kept quiet, for obvious reasons. And by the time you get done reading this post you will know why. On March 31st, I, and a 11 other people received this email: .............................................................................. *snip* >WILD WILD WEB, a CBS nationally-syndicated television show, has chosen >your Web site as one of several Web sites to be featured in an upcoming >segment on tributes to the dead on the Web. We are still in >pre-production on the segment and we cannot guarantee your Web site will >make the final cut. However, in the eventuality that it does, we would >appreciate your permission to show your site on our show. Simply reply >to this message and e-mail your permission or refusal. We are facing a >tight deadline so a prompt response would help us greatly. There is NO >cost to you for this national exposure, nor will you be compensated. *snip* ............................................................................ The people who received this, who have tribute sites to Michael, debated on whether or not we should do this. None of us created our sites for any sort of recognition. None of us wanted to do this to jump on the bandwagon, or anything. In fact, our main concern was that this segment would be done distastefully and that it would add to that lack of interest already present within the media. But, on the other hand, it could have been a chance for Michael and INXS to finally get a little bit of the respect that they deserve. So, I sent them this reply: ............................................................................ ... >To be honest, until I received this email I had never heard of this TV show. So I did some research, got some opinions from other people and, much to my relief, I found out the the Wild Wild Web is a legitimate and quite good TV show. I even found out that it airs in my city, so I will be watching it this week. > >You have my permission to use A Time For Reflection http://www.angelfire.com/al/rememberance/index.html >in your upcoming segment. That said, now it is out of my hands. I hope that this segment is done tastefully and professionally. It will mean a lot to INXS/Michael Hutchence fans here North America if the media will FINALLY give him the respect and rememberance that he deserves. > >I did not create A Time For Reflection so I could gain any sort of recognition. It is a place for fans to grieve, share, reflect, and heal. ............................................................................ ... Before I show you their segment, as it appears on the web, I will say Thank God that they didn't use any of our tribute sites. And Thank God that this show is syndicated and airs at 1:30am. Here's what it says about the segment: .............................................................................. >The last Grateful Dead show I attended was on July 4, 1986 at Rich Stadium in Buffalo. It was only two shows later that Jerry Garcia suffered a stroke and was out of commission for almost five months. My tour companion Jason Grodsky commented that if Jerry died, thousand of Deadheads would probably commit suicide. Luckily for them, the Web came into being before Jerry's actual demise. > >We are all familiar with the public outpourings of grief that follow the death of a popular musician. The graves of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Elvis have become tourist attractions, and massive vigils were held around the world following the deaths of John Lennon and Kurt Cobain. Music reaches people in the deepest of ways, and when a star dies, many people feel the need to express their loss publicly and share their pain with others. > >The Web gives grieving fans a unique opportunity to express their admiration and love for their fallen idols. While previously, the only ways in which a Falco fan in Germany could share a moment of sorrow with a fan from New Jersey were either costly (an airline flight) or limited in expression (snail mail). Now, fans of Falco and of hundreds of other deceased pop icons share photographs, audio, video, and all manner of electronic media. Public grieving has never been so easy -- and so much fun! > >Wild Wild Web TV co-host Matt Lindley thought that a special way to express sorrow for some famous dead musicians would be to make a video tribute to dead-pop-star tribute Web sites. He asked me if I might have my band FirePig write and record a song that would serve as the soundtrack for this video. I said yes, natch. Read all about our tortuous ordeal and see just what some people are willing to go through to honor the memories of some of recent history's most beloved pop stars. And once you've finished reading every last word, view the video itself! (The RealVideo plugin is required.) > >Of course, you'll want to see some of the sites themselves, right? You're in for a special treat because I got permission from my lawyers to reprint the lyrics of my tribute song "Offline," with links to memorial sites of all the stars mentioned! If this song becomes a hit, maybe someday I will rate a memorial fan page! > >If you can't get enough of your favorite dead stars, or if you just want to keep up on who has died and what they died from, you'll find these sites quite useful. >Dead People Server >The Death of Rock'n'Roll: Untimely Demises, Morbid Preoccupations, and Premature Forecasts of Doom in Pop Music >The Obituary Page >If you find my tone irreverent, please know that laughter is my best way of dealing with the pain. > >--Al Natanagara .............................................................................. Ok, there's no mention of Michael. THat pissed me off to begin with, but hey, it's the media. Some of what he said is alright, until you get to the part where he talks about the song he wrote for this segment. I understand what he says at the end of this, about laughter being his way of dealing with the pain, but check out his song, and know why I'm ready to spit nails: .............................................................................. >Offline > Their music lives on >They have conquered time >Now they live online > >To their memory >Their loyal fans contribute >An HTML tribute > >Fire up your Web browser >And log into the site >Of Brad Nowell from the ska punk band Sublime > >Jerry Garcia's site's a trip >And nfak.com >Is the official site of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan > >Mick Ronson, John Lennon, Carl Wilson, Marc Bolan, Andy Gibb >Buddy Holly, Shannon Hoon, Janis Joplin, Karen Carpenter... > >Some would be with us now >But for a protein spill >From a handful of little yellow pills > > jimihedrix.com >No Keith Moon page--that bites! >A thousand billion million Elvis Presley sites > >So many tribute sites for >All those rock and roll stars and >Even Nicolette Larson > >Kurt Cobain, RealAudio >His passing was so grim >As was Jeff Buckley's final swim > >Miles Davis, Don Cherry, Cliff Burton, Bob Marley, >the guy who sang the German version of "Der Komissar" > >I really, really, really, really, really, hope these sites >aren't violating record companies' exclusive copyrights! > > Some sites to see online >John Denver's covered in clouds >The INXS guy, a shroud > >If you wish to mourn >With Michael Hedges fans >Enter the URL of Nomad Land > >Tupac Shakur, PG-13 >Notorious BIG >Together now, though in life they disagreed > >Don't forget Stephane Grappelli >Paul McCartney, John Bonham >Frank Zappa had cancer on him > > (Here went a brilliant solo section featuring Ed and Greg, which was cut out due to time constraints) > >Though they all have died >We cannot rewind >We must let them rest in peace online > >No one conquers time >We must get on with life >Now that they are offline > >Music by FirePig >Lyrics by Al Natanagara >Music and Lyrics ©1998 Petry Records and Heating > ............................................................................ ....

I know you don't like one liners, but this is really just a one worder --- BULL#%IT. I like the way we as real fans honor INXS and Michael, and we will continue to share and be thankful for the band and for Michael. I don't like to contribute to anything that degrades his memory or the band and its career. They have enough trouble (for some reason) proving their credibility in the music industry.

My personal opinion, it's just another example of the media bamboozling fans so they can create something "entertaining" for their audience. Deirdre and other well meaning fans who gave permission to use their sites expected respect. I'm sure if the the Wild Web email said they were doing a light hearted look at death then the fans may not have given permission to use their sites. I have one of the lowest opinions right now of the media and not because of the lack of coverage of Michael's death, but because of the _using_ of fans. In this case, a tv segment. They easily could have handled this segment with a little more sensitivity and instead opted to, what appears to me, to make fun of people who have created sites to their favorite musicians.

I think it is more spontaneous and encourages greater participation by the members of the list. I know many find this an inconvenience, what with all the one-liner replies, but I prefer to receive individual messages. By the way, how is Nanci coming along with her move, if anybody knows? When can we expect the list to be up and running again? Also, I just received a copy of the MTV Rockumentary Remix on INXS aired last Monday. Thanks to Heidi. I wasn't too disappointed at all; I didn't detect any disrespect, but it could have been a bit more thorough. The clips they showed were just bits of the original 1989 Rockumentary, as well as the MTV News spot the week after Michael died. The only new footage was the clips of the Negus interview (at least I hadn't seen it aired in the U.S.). I would have preferred more recent clips of the band in the 90's (did anyone else notice there was no mention of X?) and new commentary. Yes, Kurt Lodor does sound monotone, but he is like that with EVERY act out there; don't think he's dissing the band. Also, I found Serena Altchul (sp?) to have been a good host. She got her facts wrong on Michael's estate, not even mentioning the bankruptcy and the legal fight for the money, but I suppose that's for the better, considering the issue isn't resolved yet and I'd hate to see the end of the rockumentary being, "Michael died bankrupt". She also paid homage to the bands continuing popularity in Europe and Australia, while their popularity in America declined, which I found fair enough. And there was no disrespect in her voice when she stated that Welcome to Wherever You Are and Full Moon, Dirty Hearts weren't the hits Kick and Listen Like Thieves were--this is completely true. As far as Conan O'Brien's co-host Andy Richter sounding sarcastic about the band, don't sweat it. For all we know that could be his way of expressing himself. Also, he IS a comedian; he would have done that with any band. I just think a lot of us are just a tad too touchy about the media's portrayal of Michael and the band, and tend to jump to quickly on any perceived slight, however tenuous. I'd just like to end by reaffirming my support for the list, because, again, not only does the digest format discourage participation, but it also discourages long posts like this. Now how long do you think several messages like this on one post would take to download? Brian ********** Reply-To: From: "Brian Rice" To: "Sue" Subject: More List vs. Digest Date: Sat, 2 May 1998 18:40:45 -0500 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Yes, it's me again for the second time in what I believe will be Digest #29. I just want to elaborate more thoroughly on why I prefer the List to the Digest. I believe the Digest, while adequate for the duration of Nanci's move in that it has kept us all in touch during this time, stifles random and spontaneous discussion. It also discourages by it's nature participation by members because people (at least me) feel we have to have something substantial to contribute before we post anything, as opposed to some whimsical offhand comment (this includes one-liners). I mean, how many of you feel such long and indepth messages by me on this one post feel THAT MUCH LONGER? And the discussion on the list is slowed because with this format I have to post my message, wait until the next day to see the next digest, then I have to wait to the digest after THAT is posted to get a response to my original message. With the list, I can send an email, see it posted on the list within a half-hour or so, then if someone is also on the internet, they can reply back within an hour. Now, I'm not on the internet so long as that all the time, but I know that later on that day or whatever, I can expect a response to my message. I understand and completely sympathize with those whose only email access is through work, and that they prefer the digest. If my only access to my email was through work, I might feel the same way, although I'd still prefer the list format, but circumstances would force me to support the digest format. Obviously it would be insensitive to expect everyone to go out and buy their own computer for this purpose; many people just can't do that. And, of course, the age old debate over one-liners. I know it's a pain to a lot of people to see countless postings of, "I agree", and so on, but that's part of the nature of a list. A list is more chatroom oriented, while a digest is more message board oriented,. Well, that just about covers everything I wanted to discuss. I hope we can have more people come out and voice their opinions on this debate, since a list of 260 members should have just a little more discussion than what I've seen in the digests so far. Having said all this, I just want to make it clear I in NO WAY mean to be critical of Sue for her efforts in providing this digest. I thank her for giving us this way of keeping in touch until Nanci sets up the list again. I just prefer the list. Brian [I knew I had to get another digest out tonight after reading Brian's post :) Actually I'm in total agreement with everything Brian said. I personally prefer the list format but totally understand the people who prefer digests. Nanci should be back and have us all set again any time now. If memory serves me I think I remember her saying that once she was all set up in her new home she was going to work on the digest option capability.

Last I heard from Nanci, only a few days ago, was that it was time to have one last look at the house and then the next day was signing day! She has to get all her stuff first so she can set things up... but basically her move seems to have gone well. As for the list being back, it's just a matter of time really. Nanci didn't want me to pass on any particular day ... 'just incase'.. and I can completely understand that!

I agree that Andy Richter would have done that with any band. My point was, it's too bad he *would.* I really find nothing comedic about death, especially one as tragic as Michael's (and I know you agree). I just think he shouldn't have made any kind of comment at all, comedic or otherwise. There is a "time and place" for everything, and someone's tragic death isn't the time or place for a comedian to shoot his mouth off. I found that rather unfortunate. It doesn't really bother me to the point of anger when people sound sarcastic about INXS, I just figure it's their loss. But shouldn't there be some kind of reverence about death? I would prefer Kurt Loder's monotone to smirks and smiles (whether meant to be sarcastic or not) any day. Maybe I'm just being idealistic. Just my .2 for the day.

The only paraphernalia I have is a homemade t-shirt, the stuff from IN2XS, and a sticker my friend made for me on the computer. That and the endless magazine and newspaper snippings. But then you walk into Musicland and see t-shirts, postcards, posters, tribute albums, stickers, incense, and god knows what else to someone who spent his musical career singing lines like "all alone is all we are" and *shocked* everyone by commiting suicide!

The extracts are taken from the book 'Burn' which is apparently now on the bookshelves in Australia for $24.95 AUD. I am of two minds whether I should buy it or not. Of course I am curious but I dont really want to put money in this guys pocket. I dont know what the book is like, but the article's extracts were all about MH's drug problem. How high and bloody mighty - I have never had or known anyone who has had a drug problem but I can assume it is quite full-on, and hard to stop - so leave him bloody alone. Anyway there are lots of "quotes" from supposed "close friends" hmmmm close I am sure. There are also claims that other members of INXS were really pissed off with him at one stage, with a few well placed 'quotes from band members like Garry and Andrew. As a public relations professional, I know how easy it is to make up a story and then place a few real quotes in which were made quite innocently - the result looks really sinister. Bad, quick example. At an interview with a magazine Michael is late - the interview just has a chat and Andrew says lightheartedly "he always does this, it really annoys me" as a joke. 10 years later a writer can say how the Band members were always put out by his bad behaviour / drunken drugged parties / crazy sex (whatever) "he always does this" Andrew said in an 1987 interview referring to Michaels drug induces frenzies, adding that the band was just about ready to ditch him. "he really annoys me," he said referring to their bad relationship. See what I mean? I never do this in my work dont worry, but I have seen it happen. Anyway, I think I have gone in expecting trash so thats what I read into it. I may buy the book and just keep a very open mind. Anyone wants copies of this mag, email me or one of your Aussie mates. it is $2.90 AUD for your info.

X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 0-1,6-7,18-19,27-28,34-38 From: liberty-outpost@juno.com (Leah Sungenis) Hi all, Well, I know I'm gonna get killed for this one, but I'm gonna get my hands on this unauthorized bio, BURN, as fast as I can. As a knowledgeable INXS fan (as are we all) I think I can separate the garbage from the opinion and hopefully the facts. I just consider this one more piece of the puzzle. I have come to the conclusion after a great deal of study and thought that Michael died of drug abuse. I don't believe he was suicidal, but it is possible that he decided in a drugged state to hang himself. It's also possible that it was death by misadventure while in a drug state. Either way, he was high out of his mind and he did something that killed him. His drug abuse was fairly well documented, and unfortunately not uncommon in the world of rock and roll. I was part of the local rock and roll scene in Washington DC in the 70s and 80s and I can tell you the amount of drugs, both legal and illegal, was frightening. I have also met more than one famous rock musician who had unbelievable amounts of drugs around in party situations. My understanding of INXS is that most of the band members had settled down, married and had children, although I don't know the details of each man's life. Aren't at least two of them living on farms? That's a life for the super responsible, as there is a lot to take care of on a farm. I would never think that any INXS member loved Michael any less, but I know from experience that it is hard to deal with a beloved family member who abuses drugs. I recently watched my mother die of alcoholism and the last five years of our relationship were in many ways, pure hell. But we all know there was a great deal more to Michael than his sex, drugs and rock and roll image. He was polite and kind, he was friendly and accessible to his fans, he donated not only his money but his time to charity, and he was a loving father and good friend. He was a brilliant artist and performer and he brought joy to millions. Nothing will ever change that.

Nah, I don't think I'll kill you over this one Leah :) For me, it's not the gossip end of the unauthorized stuff. I agree, we all are capable of separating the garbage out, it's the fact that people are making money off his memory. I wouldn't be so ticked off at these unauthorized bios if Mike was alive and able to defend himself against all this crap. But then again, I suppose an argument could be made that alot of this gossip about him while he was alive is just one more thing that depressed him and possibly drove him to commit suicide in the first place. Another reason, for me, not to buy any of these books.

BTW, I don't ever watch Kerry Ann either guys! I was just rewinding a video and painting with my daughter when I heard the name Michael! Basically Ed quoted from what was printed in the recent mag article Renee & I mentioned (Digest 32) ... "Just before a show, Michael was wished a good show, he held out his hand, opened it - Michael's hand had a bunch of E's (Ecstasy) in it - Michael said I plan to, put the E's in his mouth and walked out in front of 25,000 people" Ed went on to say that was a very scary thing to see esp. when going on to entertain - funny thing was, Michael did a great show!! He also went on to say a heap of other stuff - none of it surprising or entertaining. But I did miss probably the first 5-10mins of the interview. I only got about 5 mins or so. I do apologise to anyone who has not read the article yet and has been planning to, but honestly I just took 3/4 lines out of a 2 page article so I didn't ruin too much!

My first contribution to the digest. I had the eeriest dream ever. It really shook me up. I was in a house that I was familiar with in my dream, but I have never seen it before in real life. It was a large, old house with creaky wooden floors and large paintings and mirrors on the walls. Anyway, I passed by a closed door and heard a baby crying. I opened the door and found Michael hugging and rocking a little baby who was crying. Michael was crying as well and I could see his lips move but I couldn't make out what he was saying. I went over to them and hugged them both and I felt this incredible warmth and sadness all at the same time. Then I woke up. I have had a flu for the past couple of days so that's probably why I had such a strange dream. I only hope that Michael really is at peace wherever he is.

It is getting really hard to know who to believe because so many of the news sources have agendas. Some feel that they are protecting us, or "guiding" us.

It turns out the author is not some money-crazed psycho, as some presumed, but Ed St John, INXS's official biographer until just recently. He wrote the authorized biography: INXS, a story of a band on the road. Apparently he had a falling out with the remaining members of INXS on how soon to release this book. He wanted it out sooner, they wanted it out later. I think we can trust this guy to give an honest accounting, and he certainly knew Michael and the boys. Another word about all this cashing in on Michael's death. I think you're holding the idea all wrong. You cannot blame supply for what demand wants. All supply (a seller or in this case, a writer) does is fill the wants of demand. In other words, the reason these books are published is because people want to read them. As for cashing in on Michael's death, if you take this argument to its logical conclusion, then every fan who buys or sells something once Michael died, AND INXS and Tiger are cashing in on Michael's death, which shows how ridiculous the argument is. I am grateful that people sell their INXS collections because that gives me the opportunity to buy. People who buy my INXS collection are grateful to get the stuff. YOU KNOW YOU ARE! Am I cashing in on Michael's death because I made a B-Sides collection? Are you for buying it from me???? Buying and selling are simply an unforced, un-cooerced trade where both parties believe that they will benefit from the trade. JUDGING PEOPLES' DECISIONS TO BUY OR SELL IS LIKE TELLING THEM THAT YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THEY DO HOW THEY SHOULD RUN THEIR LIVES. Shouldn't you respect people enough to trust them to run their own lives? Do you want somebody else running your life?

After that, I went to Tower Records. While I was browsing for INXS rarities, my car was broken into. They got my cellular phone, my medical records, health plan cards, personal snail mail, $120 cash and my pain medication. I had -all- my INXS photo album in there along with a couple of UK magazines. Luckily those weren't in the carry-all bag they took. When I got home, my computer froze/burped/gagged during my eBay bid for the DIS soundtrack. I think a telemarketer called right then. I've never missed an auction when I've actually submitted a bid. I've been looking for that album for over 10 years! The winner got it for $4.00 LESS than I was willing to pay. I know I could have won it. Merde!!! Then, when I stopped swearing to the world, I found out from reading the rest of my eMail that I had been a victim of an eBay scam (grapevin@doitnow.com). I lost $95! Check -that- feedback rating for a vicarious thrill. So needless to say, I wasn't really feeling conversant or helpful about then. I apologise to people who have sent me messages and are waiting for responses -and- to people to whom I owe things. My days have been filled with complaint forms, eMail tirades, Postal Inspectors, more therapy, pain and my four-year-old's whims. I also have to return to commuting hell at the end of the month. I hate my job . . . Crankily, Kelly p.s. Hugs and a quote for Leah: Illegitimati Non Carborundum p.p.s. If you were supposed to send me blank tapes for Mayan copies, SASEs for articles, or $$ for auction items, please do so ASAP.

I don't believe it's the same thing. INXS fans have always bought and traded while Michael was alive. I still see many people on this list offering free INXS items and yourself putting together that b-sides tapes for whoever wanted it, basically for just the cost of a blank tape and postage. That's not cashing in at all. I don't think a high percentage of the fans are trying to rip off other fans. I don't agree about Tiger and INXS cashing in either. INXS was the work of 6 people. One has died, does that mean the remaining members should not gain any income from their 20 years together? They do have their family's to support. As far as Tiger, if her father was still alive, he would still be taking care of her financially. Any additional sales goes to her well being and upbringing. Hardly ripping off her father's memory. > JUDGING PEOPLES' DECISIONS TO BUY OR SELL IS LIKE TELLING >THEM THAT YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THEY DO HOW THEY SHOULD RUN THEIR LIVES. I never said anyone should not buy or sell items or buy any of the books to come out. I only said why *I* would not buy them. The last thing I would do is judge or impose my beliefs on people (even though I'm always right :P) >Buying and selling are simply an unforced, >un-cooerced trade where both parties believe that they will benefit from >the trade. Absolutely true. However, right now you have to throw into the mix the emotions of alot of fans. Alot of people are hurting since Michael's death and owning a piece of memorabilia is important to them. This is where some people take advantage. They know a fan is vulnerable and would be willing to pay an exorbitant price for something. I don't think the fan is wrong for wanting it, but would this fan still want to pay $200.00 for a $20.00 item had not Michael died? I have no problem what so ever with someone making a profit on an item, it's just sometimes the way they do it.

Oh well, maybe next time ... This interview is from the May 1998 issue of Aussie Rolling Stone. Cheers, Bruno A. -------------------------------- Rolling Stone - 25 Years of Australian Rock Interview with Andrew Farriss, by Michael Dwyer Talk about INXS in the past tense and Andrew Farriss will correct you pretty damn quick. The band's keyboard player and principal songwriter is still dealing with grief after the tragic events of last November 22, but determination has been central to the INXS manifesto since the band's first gig as the Farriss Brothers in Sydney's northern beaches in August 1977. With the possible exception of AC/DC, they're Australia's most successful rock export: 20 million albums sold, audiences of more than 100,000, innumerable global tours, hits, awards and an unimpeachable position in Australia's rock & roll history -- despite the critical backlash of recent years which virtually defines our industry's tall poppy blues. For the 39-year-old middle Farriss brother, it all began with a wobble-board and a Beatle or two, eventually spawning 10 INXS albums plus multiple production credits including Jenny Morris, Yothu Yindi and Gun. It ain't over yet. Michael Dwyer: What's your earliest memory of Australiam music? Andrew Farriss: Rolf Harris. My dad was English so he took us on a trip back there as very young children in 1964. We went to see the Cilla Black Show and Rolf Harris was doing a painting. My mum's sister knew Rolf from Perth so we went and met him afterwards. I think George Harrison was there too, which is weird to think about now: Me as a tiny boy standing there in my shorts and little black shoes talking to a Beatle. MD: What about the first Australian record you bought? AF: The first album I bought, I think, was Abbey Road. I was totally infected by the whole Beatlemania thing but I remember, in amongst all that, this thing called Australian music. I remember figures like Billy Thorpe and Brian Cadd, bands like Zoot. I liked the Masters Apprentices and also Bakery, a local Perth act from the late '60s. MD: The Farriss Brothers moved back to Perth for 10 formative months in 1978. What was significant about that time for INXS? AF: Perth in 1978 was run by agents who wanted to please publicans by giving them Top 40 jukebox bands so their customers could drink without thinking too much about what they were watching. We were also seeing this very frustrated, stuggling artist element trying to interest people in their own music: bands like the Expression, a very embryonic Eurogliders, there was [blues guitarist] Dave Hole ... I was a big fan of the Elks, fronted by Terry Serio. Michael used to pay a lot of attention to what Terry was doing at the time. I remember vividly reaching a point where we were developing our own music, turning into INXS. When we weren't playing a gig, we were rehearsing, so we were literally living and breathing this thing and we began to develop more and more original material. Some of it was absolute garbage, some of it was OK. Another thing about 1978 was that disco was huge. Now it seems quite funny and cute but back then it was all perfectly serious. I remember thinking that you were either blues or disco or rock. There was very little in between. We chucked 'em all in together and that was what we developed into our sound. MD: I first saw INXS at the Ainslie Hotel in Canberra in 1980, just prior to your first album. The band's sense of purpose and direction was already very strong. What kind of amition lurked in your minds at that time? AF: To eat! After the free and easy lifestyle of Perth, we felt very much alone in Sydney. Most of what we did was engineered towards survival. And I know that for most young bands today, it's exactly the same story. I remember trying to hold down a job as a car detailer. We'd play a gig in Newcastle, load up the truck, drive home, I'd get two hours' sleep and then fall asleep at work. MD: Do you recall the moment you felt you'd turned the corner and were no longer living hand to mouth? AF: A couple of things happened very quickly. In the beginning of '79 we got offered a show supporting the Angels at the Royal Antler in Narrabeen. We went down quite well and Tim got a call from the agency that booked the show saying they were interested in us but on these terms that they laid down. Tim said, "Get stuffed," and hung up. He turned to me and said, "I've either done something really stupid or really smart. I hope that phone rings again or else we're all gonna starve." Sure enough, the phone rang. MD: U2's manager Paul McGuiness said recently that U2 hated playing pubs, that they always wanted to play arenas. What made INXS go back to playing pubs after your breakthrough Wembley Stadium gig (to 75,000 people) in 1990? AF: Wembley was interesting for me. There were about 200 people backstage, some quite well known. I don't hadle social situations very well at the best of times so I went looking for a place to have a beer and a cigarette and the only place I could find was the toilet! It was funny to realise that whether you're playing a tiny pub or Wembley Stadium, you still need to sit in the toilet to drink a beer in peace. After Wembley we identified that we were in danger of running out of places to play. Touring on that level becomes almost masochistic. You're a human being. It becomes ridiculous. We started asking ourselves if this was really what we wanted to do. One of the great luxuries of becoming successful is being able to do whatever you want, and we wanted to tour smaller venues. It backfired on us a bit in some places. In England fans were complaining they couldn't get in to see us. The Americans didn't understand either. They thought it was a signof failure to play small rooms! MD: INXS have witnessed the tall poppy syndrome at very close range. Do you see it as a distinctly Australian phenomenon? AF: I think you find it to varying degrees in any country but it has different ways of manifesting itself. A lot of the reason INXS paid so much attention to America is that Americans like success. People aren't cynical about it. MD: As mega-stardom set in, INXS were perhaps perceived back home as having abandoned their Australian identity to become an international band. Was that the case? AF: Absolutely not! What I find stomach-lurching about that suggestion is that we must have done 5,000 interviews overseas, explaining patiently to people that we are Australian, and in fact mentioning Australian acts who we very much hoped would try and do what we were doing. Divinyls were having a go at the time. The Angels came over. I was frustrated that Midnight Oil didn't have a go earlier. I think if they had, they could have been very much more successful than we were. I think it's appropriate to mention that Michael was deeply proud of being Australian. Underneath everything, he loved being an Aussie. MD: Michael was one of the great rock & roll stars of the past 25 years. What was it that made him that? And why do you think Australia breeds so few of them? AF: Australians come from a background of not wanting to give in to authority and being very wary of people who are rich and powerful, not letting people get too big for their boots. I actually love that about Australians. They don't let people turn into monsters. What was unique about Michael was that a lot of his childhood was spent in Hong Kong, so he had that different outlook. Michael had something a lot more organically mysterious about him. He had something natural that enabled him to communicate with people on stage. And his Australian side helped him put himself into perspective. As an Australian, at the end of the day you have to be able to have a laugh at yourself. If you're on a rollercoaster, that's your brake. For [rock stars] in America, that rollercoaster gets oiled. There's no brakes. I don't know where they get their control from. MD: Do you feel INXS will be fairly recognised in the future for their role in Australian music? AF: A couple of years ago when we were being dismissed a lot in Australia -- "They're over, they've had it" -- Tim took his son James to see the Smashing Pumpkins at the Hordern Pavilion and they played two INXS songs. James said, "Gee Dad, thanks for getting them to do that," and of course Tim was as surprised as anybody. I must admit, tributes like that and U2's tribute to Michael [on the PopMart tour] make me feel very happy. I don't want to have to tell people what our achievements are. People will understand eventually what INXS did. I think in our small way, INXS helped develop trends in popular music. And I think that's great.

I can't stand it any more! I held it in because I didn't want to send a huge message to Sue. I have to tell you guys about this dream I had. Cat and I were walking through a field out in the middle of nowhere and we crested this hill and came upon what looked to be a festival or carnival of some sort. We got closer and there was a big fence around it and inside there were tons of INXS signs, most of them were neon. Apparently we knew that this event was happening and didn't have any tickets to it. We called over one of the security guards who we also knew and begged him to let us in. He went over and talked to his supervisor ( I assume) and then said yes. We were so excited we ran around to the entrance and were let in. We told this guy that we absolutely had to meet the band knowing full well that we were pushing our luck. The guy said sure. He led us into this old house that was sort of like a farm house. We went up a set of stairs that were painted yellow and I could here Michael singing something. My thoughts started to swirl. I thought that can't be true Michael died. And the closer I got I could here what he was singing. "Do you believe, Can you believe" over and over again. My heart started to swell and I could feel tears welling up inside me. He is alive I thought. When we got to the top of the stairs, we saw Michael, Gary, and I think that the other guy was Tim but I couldn't tell because his back was turned to me. Michael was sitting on a sofa to the left of me and Gary was on another sofa to the right and Tim was in between them. Michael was of course wearing no shoes and socks. He got up the second he saw us and went over to Cat and hugged her and all I kept thinking was he's alive! Then after he talked with Cat he came over to me and said "It's alright mate, everything's cool." Then the our cat woke me up. I just had to get that out, sorry if this was so long. I just wanted to add, I was listening to a song that reminded me of Michael, I'll Stand By You, by the Pretenders. This would have been a good song at the funeral. Chrissy Hynde also did a song with Michael for the FMDH album, that's why the reminded me of him. Again sorry for the length.

The second one is from someone on the INXS list. I hope Darren hasn't typed these in as well :) Cheers, Bruno A. --------------------------- How do you write a fitting tribute to Michael Hutchence and dissect the life of one so talented, complex and yet so simple? Toby Creswell, thank you for giving us such a beautifully written and touching account of who Michael really was. It was obviously written as a friend and I thank you for allowing us to step into not only yours but some of his close friend's memories of him. As I listen to Max Q I hope in death Michale and INXS receive accolades and respect that they deserved but for some inexplicable reason they were rarely given. They are, and always will be, one of the most important and influential Australian bands of our lifetime. Is this a sign of the immaturity of the Australian music industry and most of the music media that they can't respect what Michael alone and with INXS did for Australia? Do they have to be following the latest fads in order to be respected? Michael and his music may not always have been deemed cool but he was, and those in the know always knew that. It's just a shame that it may take his horrific death and the realisation of the enormity of this loss to our country for us to realise this. Steph Dickson, Woolloomoolloo, NSW --------------------------- I want to thank you for a wonderful issue of JUICE, especially the article on Michael Hutchence. The world has lost a truly talented man. I am on the INXS mailing list and it has come to my attention that the coverage of this tragic event and tributes to Michael have been less than adequate in some parts of the world. Many people on this mailing list would love to see this article. Is there an electronic version of this somewhere on the Net? If not, information regarding INXS can be sent ot either myself (inxsable@ hotmail.com) or the INXS list (inxslist@digitalcastle.com) Vicky, inxsable@hotmail.com --------------------------- I'm writing to have a whinge about Michael Hutchence being on the cover of your magazine, again. Before his death JUICE wouldn't have touched INXS with a ten-foot poll. Now the singer has been the prominent subject in two consecutive issues. In the January edition, that "special report" on Hutchence took up half the fucking magazine! One tribute to one of Australia's rocke legends might be necessary but go easy! Did anyone learn anything from the princess Di episode? [The rest of this letter has been left out since it's not INXS-related] Anon --------------------------- I have just read my daughter's copy of the 1997 JUICE Yearbook with the editorial on Michael Hutchence. I was so impressed with the quality of this article that I have now read the entire magazine. This particular article is well written, informative, non biased, non sensational and extremely balanced. I am not normally moved by the press to write positive comments to the media, however this article and in fact, the entire magazine is an excellent example of good reporting. Congratulations on the publication of such a quality product. I for one will be purchasing my own copy of the January edition to read the rest on Michael Hutchence.

If anyone is willing to help out in this, email me directly. This is what I'm looking for, first: someone who either has DAT's of INXS shows or someone who has A+ quality bootleg/ import CDs of INXS. The shows need to be able to fit on 90 minute tapes. Also, you must have a good sound system to copy the original to tape. If anyone wants to participate in this, I'll spread the word about the tape tree, once I find someone to seed it. I plan on doing all that I can to make this happen. I'm even administrating it.

I was busy just a moment ago, doing some legal research, and suddenly I heard Michael's voice on my radio - "Don't Change." It was being played on a station called "The Beat." It was great to hear something besides Need You Tonight, not that I don't love that song, but sometimes it seems like the stations forget just how many great songs the guys made.

I bought Burn yesterday, expecting to read it last night - it usually takes me a night to finish a book like that - be warned, reading it can be very hard on the ol' emotions. I had tears in lots of places - and for that reason I only got through half the book before turning in! I am upto the Kick phase, which seems to be where St Claire starts really hanging shit on MH. The book is dead easy to read, like a magazine, and the details are really interesting. There wasn't much I didn't already know so far but it was so sad to remember how they all used to be.

Not too thrilled with the remixes on the single though:( I have a question about the shirt that Michael wore that said Watch the World argue. I have a clip of it somewhere and it looks dusty olive but someone said that it was grey. Does anyone know for sure what color it was??

As from what I can remember of the blurb, it went something like this: "(The director [or producer}) confirmed the the late Michael Hutchence, INXS' lead singer, read for the role of one of the oil rig workers. He did not get the part." On a final note, I'd like to send my belated condolences to the family of Jeff Curtis.

I mentioned that I was getting the book for someone in the US and that some people aren't prepared to wait for it's release there, if it gets released! She said that I'd want to hurry if I was getting anymore for others since the book is probably going to be banned! Looks like the boys have definately made some moves in getting the book banned - cuz I haven't heard anything from any media but since she works in the book store I figure she would be a bit more clued in than the media. But isn't Mike Gee's bio due out very soon... then there are 4 others after that aswell... INXS are going to be very busy! So.... if anyone wants the book I will get it for you. I feel I have to say this though, I don't own the book & I don't see myself owning it. But I don't mind helping others that are finding it hard to get their hands on it.

Sometime ago I was trying to get the Negus interview for the list, which I have gotten. Also, you may recall about two weeks ago, Marie agreed to mail me a tape from France with an INXS special. That has arrived and it's great. It's a Rockumentary combined with an interview with all the boys from last summer. I'm kind of backed up making stuff for people at the moment, but in exactly two weeks, I PROMISE, I'm going to offer this tape to a certain number of people, enough that they can then each make one copy and the list should all be able to get it. Just to really drive you crazy, there's also an interview from Australia with Kell and Rhett Hutchence and a few other rare tidbits. Don't email me yet! This is just an update so you know what's happening!!!!! In two weeks, I'll send out an email with instructions! Everyone who wants one will be able to get a copy!! Keep in mind that the format will be NTSC, North American format.

I would love to read the possible little nuggets of truth that might be in there, but the band/family obviously didn't want it published. So the dilemma has pretty much been solved in my mind. I would love to know if the ban is just for Australia, or worldwide. If so, they must have influence with somebody who counts. I hope that the band and/or family writes a good book, not a whitewash, but just a factual book that gives the fans lots of new information about the mates and how the 20 years unfolded for each of them. I would love to know more about each of their personal lives, like marriages, children, and what they are like individually. Not just Michael. Although he is my fav. I know there will be books enough about just him, and I don't know much about the other guys. Lets hope that a book like that gets written at some point. Do we have actual confirmation that Paula did not lose her children. I have such mixed feelings about her sometimes, that I hope whatever is best for all of her children is what happens. If she is as fragile as it seems, what good is that for a small little girl who has already lost one parent.

But remember, there is no definite word on that yet; it's just RUMOR. From what I've heard of the book, it is disappointing that he would dwell on the darker side of the groups history, but that IS what sells, sadly. Ed St John did write, with the approval of the band, the 1992 Story of a Band on the Road, and the band have stated how disappointed they are that he would do this book against their wishes, and hurt by it. As for the band themselves putting out their own biography, it's been stated on the list and elsewhere that they are, in fact, working with another author on writing such a book. I understand it is based on diaries Kirk himself kept throughout the band's career. Hopefully, such an officially sanctioned book will be as successful as St John's apparently is. As far as an official bio delving into the "darker" side of the group's history, as so many of the public would love to read about, I think it likely the band will be frank about a lot of things, while at the same time protecting Michael's memory. And the band has been up front about their "wilderness" period during the recording of Full Moon Dirty Hearts, and how difficult Michael was (they started recording it in late 1992, so it was around the time of Michael's accident with hitting his head, which to me seems to be a direct cause of his attitude), which leads me to believe that they will be frank and honest, and not sanitized. I do hope they are with that aspect, while at the same time not getting too trashy. But, of course, INXS and it's members have always demonstrated class, and I don't think this will be an exception.

There's a rather lengthy letter to the editor from Tina Hutchence (Michael's sister). She commends the magazine on it's recent feature, commenting that it was mostly excellent, but she goes on to say that some aspects of the funeral plans were incorrectly reported. There's an article about the 80's retro movement. In that article, INXS was included in a list of good things from the 80's: "INXS - Suburban white-trash electro-pop heaven. The day before Michael Hutchence died, we played The Swing in the JUICE office, some of us wishing that 'Burn For You' would return to the charts. Spooky." Then there's an interview with the Smashing Pumpkins, wherein the interviewer (David Lachapelle) asked them about Australian music, and they responded that they like Midnight Oil and Nick Cave. He then asked them about Michael... What's your take on what happened with Michael Hutchence? Iha: No. No comment, no comment. D'Arcy: It was said, it was said. Iha: Sad, but no comment. Can you relate to the pressures he was under? D'Arcy: Can't relate to it at all, it's just sad. It was tragic. I used to be a huge, huge, huge fan of INXS. Corgan: Listen, I knew Michael and he would be the last person you would think ... D'Arcy: Absolutely. Corgan: He seemed to enjoy life as much as anybody. It's the same thing as what we were talking about with ... I'm not saying his death is related with drugs, I'm saying you can't keep people from themselves. What people feel inside is their own business. It's not to say it's right or wrong, it's just that there has to be more support for helping people who need help as opposed to just saying [makes a slapping sound] naughty, naughty boy, you know? I hate what happened to Michael, and that suddenly people have an opinion about how he should've lived his life, or what he should've done. Where were thos people when he really needed them? D'Arcy: And what do they know what he's been through anyway? Who knows? Corgan: And then, even better, I love how certain magazines make his death a completely unimportant event, because quote/unquote, "His band's music wasn't important enough." Well his band's music was important to a lot of people, and I hate the way our society and our value of someone is based on the popularity of their band, or whether or not they're singing about something crucially important at that particular moment. At least Michael and the other guys in INXS had the balls to go out and do something and say something, stand for something. That to me deserves a lot more credit than somebody who sits at home and throws the beer can at the TV.

Today's Advertiser (Adelaide) has an article about Micheal in the Weekend section. It's basically an extract from Mike Gee's book, "Michael Hutchence, The Final Days". I've had a quick read and there doesn't seem to be much new info. The extract focuses on Michael's love interests over the years. It also theorises on what may have triggered Michael's actions (the accident, Yates/Geldof, drugs). The content is very similar to Mike Gee's online tribute to Michael. I wouldn't be surprised if the article has been syndicated nationally (in Australia), so I'll wait before typing it up. Maybe we could divide up the task? However, I did type up the last two paragraphs (see below). Bruno A. ------------ Exactly two months short of his 38th birthday, Hutchence let something devour him. Or perhaps it had been devouring him for a while, so maybe it was just finishing him off. Yet, in retrospect, the signs were there that something was wrong, seriously wrong, in his life. But we are always wiser with time. A response to a question posed years earlier haunted. So you don't hope you die before you get old? The response was laughter, a lot of it. "Of course not. What worries me is that everybody else expects me to. I'd like to say I tried but I failed." ********** Date: Sun, 24 May 1998 10:05:11 -0400 From: Mistress Kelly Organization: Friendly Net Newsgroups: alt.music.inxs,alt.rock-n-roll.stones,alt.music Subject: Symphonic Rolling Stones/INXS-Michael Hutchence Promo CD on eBay 15043374: Symphonic Rolling Stones/INXS Promo CD - Ltd Bidding starts at: $1.00 Auction ends on: 05/30/98 21:41:08 PDT http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=15043374 Under My Thumb - Michael Hutchence (of INXS) As Tears Go By - Maire Brennan (of Clannad) Ruby Tuesday - Marianne Faithful Angie - Mick Jagger Gimme Shelter Good luck!

I certainly have a good few complaints about this! Well, here are my beefs: 1: First of all, they could at least get their facts straight. Michael was 37 when he died, not 38. 2: The picture of Paula "at Hutchence's funeral service" may have been of Paula, but was certainly not of his funeral! We all saw the funeral on T.V. and all know that that was NOT what Paula Yates was wearing! They make her out to be some sort of complete slut (if I can say that) and no matter what kind of person she really is, I don't think anyone would wear THAT to even their worse enemy's funeral, let alone their fiance's! 3: They only focus on the darker side of the story, and portray his whole death as some kinky sex scandal, or "kinky sex tales and feuding" as they put it. Finally, they act as if it's so shocking that Australians made such a big deal of it. They claim that, "...the story never got beyond a sound bite in the U.S. (unsurprising, since INXS's last CD, Elegantly Wasted, sold a measly 165,000 here). I'm sorry folks, but I think the death of one of the most influential rockers of all time, no matter where it is, is more than a sound bite. There are thousands of fans that thought it was a very big deal, and won't fall for this tabloid crap. Well, I just want to know if anyone agrees with me, on anything here. Entertainment Weekly will surely be getting a letter from me. And, in closing, I like to say that Entertainment Weekly can believe what they want, but, personally, I think I'd like to agree with the coroner, in that it was, IN NO WAY, an autoerotic act. It might be shocking, but I think the coroner is a little more well-informed than some sleazy, tabloid journalists.

Hi all, As Paula would say, "crikey, yes!" I haven't even seen the thing and it sounds pretty sad. It's easy for tabloids to play to the lowest common denominator and report on the rumours of grisly doings. Many of us cannot help but look at the car accident when we drive by it, not because we enjoy it but because it's so horrifying we're frightened and compelled. But the tabloids are being stupid, because if they want to reach Michael's audience, who would really spend some money for decent articles, they have to do a quality project. You've heard my opinion a thousand times, but I still find it bizarre at this point that the auto-erotic thing is persisting when there is so little evidence of it. There is some evidence, but I still don't think the coroner tracked down all the leads. Maybe it's because it's easier to accept than outright suicide. We all still want to believe it was a mistake, a horrible accident, which it really was. But that kind of accident? There is much more evidence for a different accident scenario. No one ever seems to want to discuss the drug angle, the cocaine and who knows what else? We've still only heard about cocaine, prozac and a rumour about valium. What other prescriptions did he have? We have not really had much discussion on his illegal drug abuse because everybody's fixated on prozac. It's as if no one wants to go there. I'd love to know why. Any takers? I still believe that it was an accident. There is no evidence for murder and again, the coroner dropped the ball in really investigating if he was suicidal. I know he had problems and I know he was under a great deal of stress. But there is no real evidence that he was acting in the classical pattern of a suicidal person who has made up their mind to die. He was not wrapping up his affairs in any way, and suicides who plan to die always do. Someone I knew left a note, checks for all his bills, and a pile of cash in case he had forgotten to pay anybody. Michael was planning to start over in Sydney again--you don't move just before you kill yourself!! There is also the lonliness angle which is rarely discussed--I've heard a lot about how he was never alone and always surrounded himself with people. The band talks about it in the Negus Interview. So what part did that play, finding his lady and his daughter and step-daughters an ocean away and everybody gone. Was he alone with his nightmares? There are still a lot of questions and I know I can't put it to rest until I've gotten some more answers.

I have a letter to EW drafted in my computer as we speak. All the things you mentioned bugged me, but I think that what made me the maddest (??) is the attitude that not only did the US care about Michael's death, but that Australia should move on to other things too. I want people out there to know how many of us there are, and how strong we are. The only saving grace about the article was that in the last paragraph they had Michael looking forward and upward in his life. Pat _________________ And thanks to (I lost the digest so I don't remember who sent it in) the Smashing Pumpkins interview segment - that makes my heart feel better - I think the music industry knew Michael much better than the critics and the rag mags. I know Billy and the band probably said "No comment" at first because they already have had to answer so many questions about the loss of their band members - but it is awesome that they said the things they said about Michael.

Oops, I didn't know that that was what Paula actually wore. My mistake, sorry about that. Just to let you know, that certainly wasn't MY view of Paula, just how they portrayed her in the article. It still make me mad, though. I mean, the U.S. has million of people in it and I don't think that ONE person can make a statement about the views of everyone in their country. Besides thats still 165,000 people that were (and are) affected by Michael's music, and that is far more than a soundbite. And, even though I'm not Australian the article pretty much angered me for the whole country. Your nationality hardly affects your taste in music, and even if there are many more Australian INXS fans, I'd never even think of notioning that this is a bad thing.

Paula's dress is none of our concern. What she wore does not take away from her grief and I will repeat... maybe Michael gave her that dress? Maybe it was his favourite dress on her? Maybe it held some special meaning for the two of them? Don't tell me none of you out there have ever worn anything that was inappropriate just cause you wanted to. And what is appropriate for a funeral nowdays anyway? All black.. in Sydney heat? White? Yes she was showing a large amount of cleavage, but hey she's got it right? From what I have read, Michael loved that about her? Why should she dress differently? Just to please those of you who don't like what she was wearing?

I think I was so happy just to see a freaking article on the guy, that I overlooked anything else. ;) I checked out Paula's dress, and that is the one she wore to the funeral, believe it or not. It was supposed to be her wedding dress, and she had it dyed black for the somber occasion. The picture EW has is pretty revealing, but, she is known for being like that, and so it doesn't surprise me. In the oddest way, I sort of imagine Michael smiling down and proud of her for wearing the dress to his funeral, he was always rather outspoken himself that way. And lastly, even if no one else in the whole world agrees with me, I think he did die as a result of an auto erotic act. Honestly, that is more comforting to me, and makes more sense. (personally) I think we'll all look at the situation and believe what best fills our needs, and I just can't imagine him purposefully taking his life. Paula's quote "He didn't mean to die," just sends out thousands of sighs to me. wow, I hope you're not taking any of this wrong. :) I'm smiling, because I love to see how people have different viewpoints on issues. That's what makes the List the List! Take care, Cristy ********** Bits and pieces from me. Sarah said: > And, in >closing, I like to say that Entertainment Weekly can believe what they >want Although I understand your frustration Sarah, just look at the title of the magazine. Besides being a magazine about entertainment, their job is to entertain. Their goal is to sell magazines. What better story than to write off suicide and go right for the sensational story. Remember, sex sells. Which do you think, in Entertainment Weekly's opinion, is more interesting. Rock star kills himself in bizarre sex act or beloved member of band commits suicide.

Couldn't agree more with Pat. We have read nothing but nice things about Michael from his fellow musicians. These are the people who actually worked with him or personally knew him and could probably relate alot more than anyone with what ever demons may have been possessing him. If I'm not mistaken, didn't Michael mention in an interview that he really enjoyed the music of the Smashing Pumpkins.

The picture of Paula that was shown in Entertainment Weekly was of Paula at the funeral that I saw. That picture has even been shown numerous times in many other publications. Yes, she did where a slinky dress to the funeral. I personaly thought she should've worn something more conservative, too. But, the woman had to fly a day just to get to Sydney. Plus, with all the grief & funeral preperations, how can you expect her to go out in public & buy a new dress? Yes, she could've had one of her friends go, but that was probably not an option given the limited time she had. But, again, that picture in Ent.

If you look, there is sequins & flowers on her dress. If she were to dye the dress, the flower would've changed colour & not remained red. Plus, the sequins would've been effected. Unless she sewed it on at the last minute. But who has time for that? It's been reported numerous times, mainly in non-USA mags, that she decided not to wear the wedding dress. On another note, I have to agree with Cristy about how Michael possibly died. I tend to lean towards the auto erotic thought. But, we never really know the complete truth. Yes, the coroner reported suicide. But, in the report, he didn't mention what evidence lead him to that conclusion, nor reasons why it couldn't be auto erotica or even suicide. Again, we'll never know.

As for what Paula wore to the funeral...I would have to agree with what Sherrianne wrote...maybe it was one of Hutch's favorites on her or maybe it was a gift from Hutch....I don't think it was the wedding dress dyed black...I heard she did'nt actually go through with that...I know many of you have strong opinions about Paula....but, she really loved Hutch and he really loved her and I know how hard I'm taking his death, I'm sure she's having a worse time than I....think about it...she has his child...and was planning to marry him...just think if that were you, if you were the one he was with....you'd be just as bad off....I know Paula is a different style of woman, but aren't we all....yes it is sad that Hutch had gotten himself into such a sticky situation with Paula and Bob, but he was a grown man and I guess he had to know what he was doing....

I am right there with you. And have said so from the beginning. The A.E. theory of Michael's death is the only thing that makes sense to me. I think it was Leah who said in a recent digest that Michael had so many things going on at the time of his death. His anniversary tour with the band, his new baby, and so many loose ends that needed tidying up for his loved ones before he would check out for good. I think her point is a good one. It could be that the devastating news of Bob Geldoff refusing to allow the kids to visit Austrailia put him over the edge. And for that one moment in time he snapped. But the idea that he was so distraught that he felt he had no other solution to this problem doesn't ease my mind at all. In fact, it makes me feel worse! It really upsets me to think that a person who I admire soooo much would have so little respect for his own life. And for his loved ones. Unfortuanately, I didn't know him personally, but from everything I have read and heard about him, suicide was the last thing anyone expected from this man. And didn't Paula once state that Michael was willing to try anything sexual. It kinda fits. I know that we are definetely the minority on this subject. But if it makes sense to you and helps you to cope with his loss then go with it. take care, Chris ********** X-Originating-IP: [137.186.188.152] From: "Sarah Drodge" To: sue@mdc.net Subject: One small point Date: Mon, 25 May 1998 20:57:59 ADT Hi everyone. Okay, I have to make one thing clear. I couldn't care less what Paula wore to the funeral, if she wanted to wear a green garbagebag that would be fine with me. The only, and I mean the ONLY reason I even brought up the subject of the dress is because I thoought that she had worn something else, and I thought it would have been pretty low of Entertainment Weekly to lie like that. But, I was wrong, and I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE DRESS! I have to make this very clear because I don't want anybody mad at me because I'd feel really bad about it and it would ruin my day.

Not a view I support, but that is the attitude the media in America take; Elegantly Wasted could have sold 10 million everywhere else, but with only 165,000 in the US, that makes them failures.

He took his oldest sons > to see a concert of theirs and the band played snippets of Don't Change and > Need you tonight so I believe they probably knew eachother pretty well through > the industry. Yes. Tim said as soon as his son James recognized the song (I don't know which was played first), he looked up at where Tim was at, surprised. I guess his son didn't take INXS seriously until the SP did a couple of the band's covers! All of the sudden, dad was cool! (His son assumed Tim had arranged it, but he was as surprised as anybody.) As for the various theories on what happened (and this road has been tread time and again; certain topics must go in cycles), I feel that he did it under the influence of the combined effects of alcohol, prozac, and cocaine, ALL of which were found in his blood by the coroner. Not to disparage anybody or single out anybody in particular (take very careful notice of this disclaimer), but to me it seems obvious. I think what started the ball rolling, in effect, was Michael's much publicized 1992 head injury, the one that cut off his sense of smell and taste. It has been well documented and attested to by close friends of Michael that this had a profound impact on Michael's personality and mental health; the bouts of depression and the fits of violent anger, which were never there before. Remember, he even pulled a knife on Garry during the recording of FMDH! Also remember, none of this is tabloid gossiop; Garry himself revealed the incident to Q Magazine last year, and friend director Richard Lowenstein attested to the fits of depression and anger. Sadly, up to that accident, Michael seemed to have gotten off drugs more or less (he seemed to use in phases), and was settling down with Helena at this time. After the accident, his use has been reported to have resumed, and reported to have escalated through the years, especially the last year of his life. Now, I'm not criticizing Michael's lifestyle here--please again, NOTE that as a disclaimer--just stating what I've read in reliable accounts. In 1995, he was prescribed Prozac to treat his depression. But he still continued to use recreational drugs as well. Also, it is NOT the prozac I'm criticizing here; it is it's use with other drugs. Then you get into the other aspects of Michael's life; the tabloid crap, the child custody battle, etc etc, and I believe that by November 22, 1997, things had piled up to the point that, when Michael learned of the child custody suit being postponed, and with that the realization that Paula's kids weren't going to get to go to Australia, and under the effects of the prozac, alcohol, and cocaine found in his bloodstream that impaired his judgment, Michael snapped. Not in anyway premeditated; just a spur of the moment instance where a few minutes delay to give time for his friend Michelle Bennett to arrive to be there for him could have changed his mind. (No criticism toward her, mind you.) There is no way I can subscribe to the notion that Michael's death was a random act of Auto Erotica. The facts just DO NOT add up to me, and indeed point to the theory I have explained above. I mean, do you really REALLY believe that after getting off the phone after arguing violently with Bob Geldof, after calling his manager, Martha Troup, and telling her voice mail, "I've fucking had it"--and lastly but certainly not the least--after calling Michelle Bennett practically weeping and begging for help, that after THAT last phone call, Michael is going to strap a belt around his neck to JACK OFF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I mean, within minutes of that phone call, Michelle arrived at the hotel room and knocked on his door, but Michael did not answer. Likely he was already dead by that point, or very close to it; maybe he was even ignoring her so he could get on with it (taking his life). His body wasn't discovered for another two hours after that. Again, sorry to those of you who may be upset by reading this. This is how I feel about it. I in NO WAY intend to trivialize Michael's death this way (by internet digest), but I feel as a fan I (and all of us here) have the right to voice our opinions on this matter, one that is very important to us. Brian ********** From: grahampat@rocketmail.com Priority: Normal X-MSMail-Priority: Normal To: "Sue" Subject: MY 2 CENTS - FOR THE LIST Date: Mon, 25 May 98 21:50:33 PDT My two cents on the AEA/suicide thing -- if I had a tote board - there would be as many marks on the side of AEA as there is on the side of suicide. Everyone has their own feelings and thoughts about this subject - but unless further FACTS come out - I don't think we will ever really know. I know I can love Michael and accept that he abused drugs and was sexually more experimental than most people out there. But I also can admit that he had so much going for him, and an acceptance of where he was in life that he wouldn't have chosen suicide as a way out of problems. But he also had a problem with being lonely and sometimes in life many things can converge at a single moment that would never happen the moment before or after in quite the same way. His father voicing worry about him the night before, the things heard by people in other rooms, shouting, hitting the wall, etc.... Like I said, I don't think that question will ever be fully answered. But as Andrew said in the new part of the Rockumentary Remix - it isn't so important how a person dies, as that they ARE gone. I think I am satisfied with that sentiment. Because we cannot undue the loss.

Paula's dress!! By the way, no offense to Nanci, but why didn't she find a guest host for the list so it could continue? She must have realized that two weeks was a utopian scenario for moving so far. Not that Sue hasn't done a good job, because she's been great, but what gives? Surely someone would have volunteered to do it for Nanci. Anyone? Anyway, back to the real issue. THAT DRESS! I think it is important what one wears to a funeral. She was there as a family member and part of that is supporting each other and remembering the loved one. I don't think it's appropriate to make yourself the object of attention at a funeral--it's in even more bad taste than outshining the bride. At least the bride is alive! Paula was a tv host for years--she certainly had the money and the oportunity to have already purchased something appropriate for the occasion. Which one of us doesn't have a serious occasion outfit in our closets??? And as for the "if you've got it, flaunt it" attitude, fake boobs are hardly a turn on at a funeral. It is important how people comport themselves, especially if she was representing Michael to the world on that horrible day. And as for it being the wedding dress, what wedding? Paula's wedding to Michael existed only in her own mind, and now Michael isn't here to refute her so she can lie all she wants to. Evidence: the INXS publicity machine instantly refuted the rumours, which Paula released to the press, that they were going to marry. Michael was reported to be furious with her. Kell says Michael never mentioned it and he says that he would have been the first person his son would have told. Tina says Michael told her he wasn't marrying Paula. The BAND won't touch it with a ten foot pole. Wouldn't they have been referring to her as his fiancee out of respect for him if it was true??? Is there a single person who can back up her story that they were getting married? No. Who are you going to believe, Paula or Kell Hutchence? And Kell actually cares for her, so he has no reason to be cruel. One last thing. What the *%&$# was that zoot suit Rhett was wearing? And the crowning glory of the hairdo???? I guess he was getting back at Michael for all the years Michael was the center of attention and he wasn't!!! (Please take that with a grain of salt, I'm only 33% serious.)

Sorry Leah, but I disagree with you more in one post than I have ever disagreed with anything ever written on here before. First of all, Nanci did not mean for the list to be down for so long. Second, we tried to find a host before when the first list was going down... Nanci took up the calling and did it and has done a damn fine job. Have you offered to do it? Do you have any idea how much work is involved in doing so? Why bother with all that work if the list will be back up and running soon? Sue has done a wonderful job, it's the same thing, just all the posts at once rather than throughout the day. I miss the regular list format, but I don't think any of us are missing out on anything. And if Nanci isn't insulted by these comments, then I will be for her. Again with the dress and Rhett's suit. Who put you in a position to judge? Are you the best dressed person in the world? Do you wear the "appropriate" outfit to every occasion? If you do, then congratulations, you and Queen Elizabeth are the only ones on the face of the earth. She either had reasons for wearing it or didn't have, but either way, it was her choice. And I don't believe ANYONE has the right to judge her on it. And as for Rhett's suit... from things I have read, Michael gave that suit to him, so while the articles may be wrong... it was a gift from his brother, it probably meant a lot to him and you are going to judge him cause he wore it to the funeral? Sorry, can't take your letter with a grain of salt. Paula didn't need to do anything to make herself the centre of attention on that terrible day.. she was the centre of attention, and not by her choice... to the media, and obviously to a lot of fans, which is really sad, for Michael and for her. And I truly don't think she was trying to turn anyone on with her "fake boobs". She was being herself, the woman Michael loved and the ONLY one who she needs acceptance from is herself and Michael. She wasn't representing Michael, she was representing the person he loved and that's all she should have been expected to do. Now please, let this damn dress thing go already. It is the most ridiculous and insulting topic we have ever discussed and although I am ashamed of myself for participating in it, the only reason I have is to hopefully put an end to it once and for all. This is an INXS list.. how Michael died, no longer matters as Courtney stated, what Paula wore never did matter, as I have stated. I have no problem with people still grieving for Michael, I went all the way to Sydney to say goodbye to him myself, so I know, first hand, that some of us still need to heal. But grieving and talking about Michael this way isn't going to heal anyone. So if we are gonna discuss Michael.. why not his music, the upcoming albums, his life, his contribution to our lives and how much we miss him, not this other crap which serves no purpose except to insult. ********** From: INXSBABE Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 10:15:30 EDT To: sue@mdc.net Subject: Re: Paula's Dress I don't see where the dress was all that bad myself.

There are many topics that one may think are not appropriate or are no longer appropriate to this list. But that does not give anyone the right to say that just because they don't want to hear about it that others should stop the discussion. One could say that it's just an opinion to want people censored, but it is dangerous and disrespectful. All opinions are not equal. Some are bad and wrong, and this is one of them. Censorship chills and destroys free speech. If we cannot speak freely (within the rules set by the list hosts) then we will have no reason to be on this list. One has to wonder how many people have already left this list because of being told what not to discuss by other listees.

Kirk Pengilly was apparently in my home town, Adelaide, recently. He produced a 5 track EP for his brother Drew's band, COO. There are rumours that INXS members will be going their separate ways. However, there may be an album of previously unreleased material. Also, Rip It Up says there will be a final concert on the first anniversary of Michael's death. It's unlikely that Michael's solo album will be released any time soon. The British record company is holding off until the legal battle over Michael's estate and royalties is settled.

First of all, I'm tired of people griping about how long it's taking Nanci to get things running again. Some of you are the same people that were complaining about how much mail you got when the list was up! Let's just all be thankful that Nanci *has* an INXS list that we're all a part of, and give generous thanks to Sue for taking time out of her day to cut and paste stuff for us! As the saying goes, if you give thanks for the fish, give thanks for the hook that caught it. Second, on a more cheery note, yesterday night I got back from Six Flags Great America (near Chicago). For 'Batman-The Ride' they had the line area done up like an inner-city alley-type thing, graffiti and all. Guess what was on one of the walls, in bright pink letters...? That's right! INXS!!!! That about made my day. Well, food for thought... -Becky INXSivelyU2@juno.com X-Sender: sue@mail.mdc.net Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 19:57:30 To: (Recipient list suppressed) From: Sue Subject: Digest #69 Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 15:14:39 -0700 (PDT) From: pat graham Subject: For the list To: sue@mdc.net This is for the list First of all, I would like to thank Sue for keeping the digest going all this time, and I'm sure that Nanci is just a frustrated as anyone about how this whole operation is going. Secondly, I think that the discussion going on today is one reason that I preferred the list concept. If there was a subject that showed up that I felt I did not want to discuss or respond to, then I could just not read that post. And probably save myself a lot of stewing over something that obviously still meant something to someone else, just not to me!!! So for that reason, even tho I have been very thankful for the digest during this time, I like the individual posts concept. Thank you all for your opinions and comments - I have gotten something helpful from each and every one of you at one time or another.

Brat !?!?!?!?!?! (sorry I don't know your real name) Ouch was that post to Leah really necessary? I know you're frustrated as I am too with the list being down and I'm the many pieces of email asking when it's going to be up and yadda yadda yadda. But taking that tone with Leah - do you really think that was necessary? I have a few comments on what you said if you'd take the time to read them maybe it'll ease the feelings you had from reading her posts ok? And everyone else might get a clue as well.... <> No I don't think Leah has any idea and neither did I till Sue explained some of it- maybe if things were explained out more or the date the list would return was somehow more final rather then continuous empty promises of two weeks or another week etc. she'd not be so eager. We all thought 2 weeks was way too long when the list went down and it's now been nearly a month and 1/2 -- people are frustrated and frankly I don't think a lot of people believe that this is just a phone line problem. I mean how could this company stay in business if they keep screwing their customers over and over again? I don't know what I believe but Leah isn't the only one feeling the frustration. As for your questions other people did offer to host the list and were denied. So as for " why bother with all the work as the list will be back and running up soon"- how do you know the phone company wont screw Nanci over again? It keeps happening to her and it adds to our frustration as well as hers. <> Isn't that pretty much what we're doing on every topic of discussion on the list? We judge the music, we judge the guys, we judge the concerts...etc...these judgements just happen to be positive ones. I believe that Leah and the rest of us are just stating opinions not condeming Paula or Rhett to hell for wearing what some of us may consider inappropriate. It's just banter not judgement day. I think Paula's outfit inappropriate but Rhetts appropriate - we all have different opinons...and I think that's great...it shows a prime example of the cross section of people that INXS appeals to. <> I agree with you that the topic may not be of the higest calibur but it is INXS related - Michael is as much of INXS as the rest of the guys and if we're to discuss Kirks new marriage and sheep hearding why can't we discuss Michael's beau and her clothes? I wholeheartedly disagree that how Michael died no longer matters...Some people are still trying to piece it all together in their heads - remember not all of us could come to such a quick conclusion like the rest seem to have. Some of us are still trying to make sense of it all. And I think it's a great place (an INXS list) to try and talk about it. Most of us can't talk about it with people not in the cyber world- we all seem to understand what the other's are or have gone through - How dare you suggest or anyone else that because you've figured it all out that other people dont' have the right to do the same? Spreading some sunshine here - sorry to offend if I did. I'm not trying to but I take great offense to how you publically flamed Leah. -Betty ********** P.S. from me relative to lack of information on the list. I have to take full responsibility for lack of information to everyone on what was happening with the list. I have had conversations off and on with Nanci about what was happening but only a couple of people voiced concerns to me by private email to which I believe I answered all questions. If I didn't answer anyone then I apologize. I didn't know there were alot people thinking there was "more to it" or some kind of conspiracy than a simple lack of connectivity. I wish more of you emailed me. I just thought everyone knew and understood she was having problems. Had I known I would have kept everyone better informed. I just thought people were busy with exams and things going on in their lives. If anyone is too blame it is me. I'm sorry I caused so much confusion and frustration for everyone. - Sue X-Sender: sue@mail.mdc.net Date: Wed, 27 May 1998 07:22:27 To: (Recipient list suppressed) From: Sue Subject: Digest #70 Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 15:27:47 -0700 From: Courtney Chase Reply-To: cchase@teleport.com To: Sue Subject: Re: Digest #68 > > > > To: sue@mdc.net > Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 11:49:16 -0400 > Subject: Re: Digest #67 > X-Juno-Line-Breaks: 0-1,9-10,15-20 > From: liberty-outpost@juno.com (Leah Sungenis) > > Hi all, > > I must say that I am very disappointed and saddened by people on > this list who are trying to censor others. oh please... what i asked was not to censor, but merely a request to respect the feelings of others... for crying out loud.... i am not alone in my feelings surrounding michael's death and i was not merely speaking for myself. > There are many topics that > one may think are not appropriate or are no longer appropriate to this > list.

Please take other people's feelings into consideration when composing a message........ In other words, THE MAILING LIST IS NOT A FORUM FOR PUBLIC AIRING OF DIFFERENCES. I think that the a.e.a. vs. suicide discussion more than qualifies as a 'public airing of differences' A. 3) Subject Matter This is the INXS mailing list - Please keep the discussion to INXS or other related subject matter. If it's fairly INXS related - i.e.. "do you think we could force some film company to re-release "Dogs in Space" in the theaters?" or "wh at sort of wine were they serving backstage in St. Louis?" or "Does anyone want to buy my old INXS stuff?" - that's o.k. until there are complaints to the contrary. so let's get back to the subject matter at hand, shall we?

Know what I've noticed? Everytime we start talking about something, and really get into it, all of a sudden, there's a disagreement, and the arguments begin. It's interesting to me, and maybe something to think about... :) Isn't our purpose here to share our opinions and feelings, and then, if debate is necessary, participate in a HEALTHY one? Name calling, and slanderous outbursts are not healthy, and don't lead anywhere. I think we should be happy we have a place to talk about INXS, who we love so much, and we shouldn't take eachother for granted, or our opinions. Personally, how Michael died is important to me. He has been a figure in my life for over 11 years now, and for him to die, both hurt, and woke me up to the realities of life. We all have different situations. Do you know that I have never known anyone in my life to die? Not a pet, parent, family member, etc. I often regarded Michael as a member of my family, because his voice was always there to comfort me in bad times, and laugh with me in happy ones. Now that he is gone, I was woken up to the reality of death, and have begun to face mortality. Those that you think can never, ever possibly die, will. I need to talk about it, I need to know about him. I"m sorry there are some here who may not be patient with that, but this is really the only place I have to share in my feelings.

(then they try to make you think you have a choice by saying 'thank you for choosing _____. but that's my own personal gripe) and it's like that in a lot of places where these phone companies stake their claim on certain regions.... but anyway.... let's all take a great big deep breath, grab a cup of tea, and chill out while we wait for our list to come back... i'm as guilty as anyone when it comes to being cranky, but blaming nanci for this is a little too far. courtney ********** From: Renee_Gibson@cams.wa.gov.au X-Lotus-FromDomain: CAMS To: sue@mdc.net Date: Wed, 27 May 1998 09:10:49 +0800 Subject: for the list someone said Yuk!

In The Australian is another interesting article about the music played on commercial radio stations. It says that these stations dont play current Australian songs like Savage Garden or Silverchair as much as 'older' Australian songs. In the 1996/97 financial year INXS was the Australian artist that was played the 4th most (for anyone who is interested John Farnham came first - no suprise, followed by Crowded House and Cold Chisel). I think for the 1997/98 financial year, INXS will be even higher, because lets face it, it is 'cool' to like INXS again, and that's all you heard on the radio last December. OOh I just read a line that has the potential to make me quite mad - '3 of the top 10 bands dont even exist anymore - 4 if you count Cold Chisel' - hmmm, lets see these would be Crowded House Hoodoo Gurus Cold Chisel (yes I do count them)....and sorry folks - the other bands are still all together so I guess the mean INXS.

Paula is being condemned on this list at times and considering she's not part of INXS but part of Michael's PERSONAL life... and whether this is an INXS list or not..

We can discuss it, but until we have lived it.. we have NO right to say who he was with or what he did was right or wrong. > I agree with you that the topic may not be of the higest calibur but it is > INXS related - Michael is as much of INXS as the rest of the guys and if we're > to discuss Kirks new marriage and sheep hearding why can't we discuss > Michael's beau and her clothes?

And discussing how he died... is that going to bring him back? No.. it only serves to bring back the discussion again and again and upset people. There is no way we are all going to agree on this so why not drop it and then maybe people can stop being hurt by it. > How dare you suggest > or anyone else that because you've figured it all out that other people dont' > have the right to do the same? > I did no such thing... I did what I had to do and I am still hurting over this as much as anyone else. People do have the right to heal and the right to try and figure things out and if you had any idea who I was or what I was about you would know that this still bothers me, that I'm still hurting and that I haven't figured it all out. But trust me... hashing and re-hashing over how a person died does not help... I know this for a fact... and although this is none of your business... I know these things because my entire family is dead.. my brother from suicide.. so.. I think I have a enough experience in this matter to say that talking about the way a person died does not help you get over it.. you can talk about the person, memories, sadness.. but the actual way, only serves to bring the matter back up and slap you in the face with it. > Spreading some sunshine here - sorry to offend if I did. I'm not trying to > but I take great offense to how you publically flamed Leah. > Sunshine? Well I take great offense as to how she publically flamed Paula, Rhett and Nanci...Paula who should just be left alone to grieve in peace and not be judged by anyone, least of all us... Rhett who lost his brother and whom Leah took the time to judge.... and Nanci who has given so much time and effort to making this thing work that she should be commended, not condemned. And so while it is alright for Leah to judge my friend, it's not alright for me to answer her? Hmmm... makes no sense to me. Sherrianne a.k.a.

Hi all, Yes, at long last, the list is back up! I want to thank you all for your patience with me these past few weeks. The move went really well, and then when I got here, the phone company did the exact opposite of everything they'd promised. I'm still working on getting the appropriate lines installed, so for the next week or so, the list will be a bit slower than usual, but it will be up and running. So, please bear this in mind when looking for your posts. All mail sent to the list will be distributed, it will just take longer than normal (i.e., please don't resend something if it hasn't appeared on your screen immediately). I hope everyone has been well while the list was down, and let me assure you, things will be back to normal in no time!

Hey all! I just got the message that the list is back! No sense wasting time...let's clog the phone lines with messages of love and friendship! Geez, I must have missed you all, I'm getting all sentimental...;^) Well, Renee went and beat me to the punch. I just didn't realize she was the one who started the 'who am I?' trend on the U2 list! I think it's a great idea, and since the list feels brand new...I would _love_ to know who all 200+ of you are, where you're from... I'm 32, live in the Mid-west USA (indiana). I have a little girl who is 8 1/2. I'm divorced once, and currently trying to patch up a very rocky relationship. I currently have no job, but have worked as a manager for many different types of businesses. I've been going back to school to finish a degree in education at Indiana State University. I've loved INXS since I first saw their video for The One Thing on some really late night TV show. I had to ask the sales clerk what their name was exactly when I bought the single! I still have that 45, picture sleeve and all! I've seen the guys three times, most recently during the X factor tour. A lack of media coverage kept me in the dark over subsequent tours, but we won't go there... I also like (i only love INXS) U2, Savage Garden, Midnight Oil, Depeche Mode. I love to read, write, and daydream. Last night we had the awards banquet for my first year as a Girl Scout Brownie Troop Co-leader! This is one of the best lists I've ever particapated in and I'm glad we're all back! I've 'met' tons of wonderful, generous, thoughtful people here. Hope you like this thread, and I hope Renee doesn't mind that I'm still trying to steal the idea from her! (That's a joke, I'm simply following her thread! :^)) Can't wait to hear who you all are!

I don't think they've been touched in almost two months, not for lack of trying! But April and May were extremely busy months between my thesis (a novella), papers, exams, my birthday, two visiting mothers (one of the in-law type), and my graduation.

Anyway, tomorrow I will be updating the pages and checking all the links. I have several new links that have been sent to me over the past few weeks - if you sent me anything and haven't seen it or the requested change, I'll be fixing everything tomorrow. I haven't been ignoring you, I've just been swamped and exhausted. I also have lots of personal stories and comments that will be going up on a memories page - some from months ago. and the messageboard listing that I promised back in March. Plus, over the next week I hope to answer some email. I've got about around 30 messages from people who've dropped by the ROTO pages -- if you're on this list, know that I'll be talking to you soon.

If we all agreed on every topic that came up life would be so boring. Back to the subject at hand. Did anyone out there tape the episode of either Rosie or Letterman when INXS guested on their shows? I would really like to get a copy of the shows since I missed both. Rosie doesn't seem to be interested in replaying that show. So I figured the list would be my best bet.

The Rosie appearance is really great....Michael sits down & talks to her...he's really charming. :) I was pissed Rosie never re-ran it. :( Just let me know if you need a copy ~Lori Sender: inxslist@smtp.digitalcastle.com Errors-To: nanci@smtp.digitalcastle.com Reply-To: inxslist@digitalcastle.com X-Listserver: Macjordomo 1b10 - Macintosh Listserver by Michele Fuortes Date: Wed, 27 May 1998 22:37:15 -0400 From: "Sharon L.

I can't tell you guys how good it is to be back (and for those of you keeping score at home, no, there was NO conspiracy afoot, I repeat, there was NO conspiracy, just the phone co. being themselves!) >what is your favorite parts of the movie Dogs in Space..... Well, you guys *know* what this movie means to me, so I have to weigh in, right? I'll try to limit it to just a few little scenes, since, like Sharon, I think it's impossible to narrow it to just one favorite scene... In no particular order: 1. The bathtub scene 2. The Green Monster 3. The shot right after the opening credits, where Sam wakes up on the stairs and shakes the dust from his hair, then wanders down to discuss breakfast with Tim. 4. Sam's discovery of The Girl and the classic line "I've seen girls before, and they don't look like that!" 5. Anytime they all begin to yell "Ballarat!" Don't ask me why, but this cracks me up! I'm anxious to see what parts everyone else likes the best!

I really like the bath tub scene too, mostly the part where Sam/Michael climbs up the door and asks her to bring her eyeliner, then falls! That part just cracks me up. I also like the limo scene, because everyone seems so happy, like life is on the right track again and Anna is smiling and refusing all the things that seem to have hurt her in the past. Becky in Wisconsin and I were discussing having some sort of Mid-West summer gathering of list members. It's so neat to meet the people here face to face and talk.

I'm going to be in London studying (uh huh) for six weeks this summer and I was wondering about the availability of any of the recent books on the boys. Also, are bootlegs easier to find out there since INXS is more popular than over here? Finally, I want to do some rare cd shopping and a lot of clubbing so if anyone in the London area would want to gang up on that, be willing to show me a few cool sites, or at least help me out and point me in the general direction, let me know privately at mlchen@ucdavis.edu. I'll be staying at Hughes Perry Hall in the Bloomsbury district from July 3-August 10, but classes start July 6 and end July 31 so I gave myself plenty of time to play around England.

The story the movie places have given to me is that it's not currently in print in America and that they have to import it. So import costs, cost of the actual tape, the fact that it's so rare and some other jazz along with their profit makes the price so high. I'd have to say it's definitely worth it to me at $76 but then again I didn't pay that much for it my friend did :-) . Just as a side note...Frankenstein Unbound is still in print in America and you can get it for $14.99 or less at Blockbuster so if someone tries to sell you that for anything above $14.99 don't do it. -betty Sender: inxslist@smtp.digitalcastle.com Errors-To: nanci@smtp.digitalcastle.com Reply-To: inxslist@digitalcastle.com X-Listserver: Macjordomo 1b10 - Macintosh Listserver by Michele Fuortes Date: Thu, 28 May 1998 23:07:21 -0700 From: "keithcat" To: Multiple recipients of Subject: INXS: Toronto Bootleg I purchased mine at Phandom Records in Toronto for $70.

Hello! Name: Christine Age: almost 25 Married about 5 ys., 2 children ages 3 & 1 Occupation: Administrative Assistant/ Part time student Birthplace: Louisville, KY (FYI we are all not hicks) I have loved INXS since I was around 14 or 15 years old. the first tape I purchased was of course KICK, but soon I had everything. I saw them in concert only once, in 1989, (On the Calling All Nations Tour) but it was so good I can still close my eyes and remember Tim Farriss skating across the stage on a skate board in those red, white, and blue pants. I taped Dogs In Space off of Cinemax about 10 years ago and recently I discovered that my husband accidently taped over it :( . Believe me you didn't want to be in our house that day. I e-mailed VH1 to request that they air in on their rock n roll picture show. I also think $75 is bit high for my budget, but I might break down soon, especially with all of this talk of favorite parts. We'll see. I am still stuck in the mid-late '80 and like music from that era so much better. Well, that's a little bit more about me than you used to know.

In a rather long post, Neil wrote something about joining the other "pseudo-Lists". I'm not really sure what he meant by that. Webster's Ninth version shows the following definition: PSEUDO: being apparently rather than actually stated; sham and the following definition for sham: SHAM: cheap falseness; hoax Neil, are you implying that any other INXS discussion lists that exist are not "true" lists? That they are "apparently rather than actually stated" meaning they have some sort of hidden agenda? Perhaps you feel that, simply since they were not the first, they don't matter? I seem to remember a stream of posts last year in which people were discussing how long they've been fans of the guys, and you chimed in to suggest that it didn't matter how long someone was a fan, all that mattered was that you were a fan. Wouldn't the same hold true for any discussion lists? Why do you only publicize the existence of this list on your website, and not any others? Don't you want all fans to have as much access to information and other fans as possible? Well, I seem to be getting off track so I'll stop here. Again, I'm really not trying to start a war, I'm just a bit confused and it's quite possible others are as well. ~*~ Donna ~*~ Sender: inxslist@smtp.digitalcastle.com Errors-To: nanci@smtp.digitalcastle.com Reply-To: inxslist@digitalcastle.com X-Listserver: Macjordomo 1b10 - Macintosh Listserver by Michele Fuortes Date: Fri, 29 May 1998 20:25:37 EDT From: Snickie3@aol.com To: Multiple recipients of Subject: INXS: Re: Dogs in Space Deborah, before you pay $75 bucks for that Dogs In Space video, you may want to read this: A few months ago, I was really bored one night, and decided to call every video store in the Fort Lauderdale and Miami phone book in search of Dogs In Space. After an hour of calls, I noticed I was nearly done with the entire list, and most of the clerks I had asked seemed to think I was putting them on. Most just laughed and said they didn't have it, and didn't even check. But finally, I called a store in Hollywood, just 15 minutes away from my home, and when the clerk confirmed that she carried this movie, I nearly flipped. I asked her to hold it and drove there within 3 minutes! When I arrived, I was thrilled to see for myself that they actually did have it! I asked the clerk (who happened to be the manager) if I could rent the box as well as the video, just so I could photocopy it. She said she couldn't let me take it out of the store, but luckily they had a photocopy machine in the store. As I was making the photocopies, she came over to me and noticed that they weren't coming out to well (probably since the box is mostly black). She must have sensed how much of a fan I was, and whispered that if I'd like to buy it, she could let it go for $10. I jumped at the offer!! She said it hadn't been rented in a long, long time (this was even weeks after Michael had died). It turns out that the tape and box are in excellent condition. There is virtually no difference between this and a new tape. It probably was hardly ever played. So before spending huge amounts for this movie, you may want to give this method a try. The key is to act very interested (but anyone on this list will naturally have no problem with that!)

Don't you want all fans to have as much access to >information and other fans as possible? There are other INXS lists out there -- the ones I know about are listed on the ROTO pages. I won't speak for Neil on this but the only other list that advertises is a Spanish-speaking list. Neil does advertise all the other INXS pages - this has nothing to do with who's better, who's first, who real and who's not. The list in question does not advertise as far as I've seen (Maybe someone can correct me on this so I can place it on the ROTO pages?). As far as I know, membership is by invitation only. I have never been invited, nor has Neil or Nanci or even Sue. I don't know what the requirements (if any) for membership are. I can tell you that there is a history of a series of misunderstandings and too much pride between the members of these two list (Some of you are on both and most of you don't have anything to do with this -- you're the lucky ones) and this all stems from something that never had anything to do with the lists in the first place. If it sounds like I'm being cryptic, I am. Because personally, I'm tired of all the bickering and miscommunications. I'm tired of the backstabbing and the pandering comments. I'm tired of the flames. There's already far too many personalities involved and no one is willing to listen to anyone. It's too bad because we're all here for the same reasons. I just wish EVERYONE would stop pointing fingers and walking about with their tailfeathers in a huff, because no one is all that. Personally, if both sides could see eye to eye, they might see that BOTH lists could exist side by side - one for social needs and one for hard news. But I've given up hope of ever seeing that happen. :( This is the last thing I'm ever going to say on the subject and I hope no one else takes it up. It really isn't worth it. The whole situation has given me far more pain than Michael's death ever did. Watch the world argue....

School: National Ballet School, Humber College Loved INXS since: I was 8 when I first heard Original Sin. It wasn't until I was 10 when I was able to get my first INXS tape KICK! Hobbies: Listening to my fave guys! Shopping, going to clubs on nights they play fab 80s music, going on vacations to far away lands, writing in my journal, walking in the sunshine, drinking lattes, running around the house naked, dancing nutty to very loud music when I am alone.....and lots of other fun stuff. Favorite stuff: INXS stuff (my drumstick and pic of Michael and me especially!), eating chocolate, my teddy bear Muffie, my kitten Max QT, my turtle Johosephat, my old journals, love notes passed to me in grade school, my pillows, sex, photos of me taken when I was running around naked in my house...(kidding!) Appearance: 5feet 7inches tall, 125lbs, green eyes, auburn hair with blonde streaks, round face, pale complexion, usually smiley but can look grumpy, especially in the mornings! Quotes: "The more you live, the less you die" (don't know who said it) "Climbing as we fall we dare to hold on to our fate, and steal away our destiny to catch ourselves with quiet grace" (from you know who! One of my absolute FAVE songs!) Talents:knowing virtually all the lyrics to INXS songs, and most retro 80s tunes (sad but true!), can do the front and side splits without flinching, making wickedly yummy mashed potatoes, writing poetry, hiss like a cat (don't want to get on my bad side knowing that!) and blowing big bubbles. I can also swim a wicked breast stroke. Fave Bands: INXS! Tea Party, Catherine Wheel, Duran Duran and most 80s stuff, Jesus Jones, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Faith No More, Joy Division, Sisters Of Mercy and The Monkees (ok you can stop laughing now!) Best INXS moment(s): my first time ever seeing the members of the band close up and talking to them: Garry, Michael and Andrew in April 1997. I thought I was going to die when I saw them just a few feet away, then again when Michael kissed me then the final coniption when Keith proposed to me in front of them! Most emotional INXS moment: What I said above, all INXS shows I have been to, when I spoke to Michael and Kirk on the phone in a radio station in 1995 (I was a babbling idiot!!!), and when I heard of Michael's death. I cried for days. My own catagory.. Fave Tunes: To narrow it down, Don't Change, The Stairs, Johnson's Aeroplane, By My Side, Everything, Questions, Guns In The Sky, Days of Rust, The Gift... I could go on but I won't! Glad the list is up again and hope to see more bios!

And someone very nice had taped DIS for me sometime ago, but my "wonderfully new high tech" VCR would not play the tape anymore. In fact, I have trouble playing any tape not made on my VCR. So, I felt that instead of spending more money on tapes that were copied and would not play on my machine, I would just spend the $80.00 and get one that I was sure of. And I am not disappointed - it was money very well spent. But, if you can find it for less, that is great. I think what I really have to do is try to find a good "old" VCR that is not so darn touchy and high tech! I think I'll go right now and take another look at Michael with those sexy bare feet of his.

It's so high because the movie is an import, from the other side of the world, with a small cult following. It's also a limited issue that must be converted to/produced in NTSC by the manufacture in order to sell it to us desperate folks in the US and Canada (Central and South America?) who only have that system. 8^( On the plus side, I got two new original copies of the movie recently in the mail. They were on backorder forever and the dealer told me that I got the LAST TWO! Somebody pinch me! Anyway, one is mine to keep. The other is on eBay for auction. By the way, for some reason (prayers, hopes, bribes?), these were well under the $70ish price. (I'll be posting it with a low reserve to cover costs.)

It's really very informative, going in to all the details about how they got the band together and the management, how they cracked the international market and all their recording sessions. Here's a hilarious little anecdote: "INXS were acutely aware of the absurdities of life on the road; they were doing it so tough they had little choice but to make light of their situation. They developed a complex language of nickmanes, codes, rituals and in-jokes to keep themselves amused and everyone else baffled. They also took great delight in making up silly names to hide behind when booking hotel rooms. During the mid-eighties, for example, Michael preferred to be known as Michael Gentley ('as in "Michael, gently,"' he explained to me once, using a woman's voice for emphasis:, while the eternally optimistic Garry Beers (who had recently proved his wacky sense of the absurd by giving himself a second name, Gary) opted for G.W. Fuller-Love."

This afternoon, the rest of the world had FINALLY come to their senses and realized that INXS is the best thing ever to happen, and will be celebrating this fact by playing their music constantly.

Whilst shopping yesterday, I decided to go into a book store who were having a major sale. I was pointing out the book 'Burn' to my brother when to my surprise I spotted Mike Gee's book 'The Final Days of Michael Hutchence'. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I did glance at the 'Acknowledgements' pages, where this list gets a mention. It is also mentioned in the back of the book, which talks about various web pages (including Neils' and Stazya's) and how to get on this list!!! Just thought I'd let you know!!! I tell you more once I actually read the thing!!!! Nice to have you all back!!! :-) TTYL, Nats P.S. Thanks to Sue for the digests. It was great being able to keep in contact with everyone, read ALL the posts, and still manage to get through a mountain load of work. Big hugs to Sue...... ~~ Remember, your mind is like a parachute. It is more efficient when it is open ~~ ~~ Hard work never kills anybody who supervises it ~~
