Kelland, I have to praise you for making this such a beautiful webpage. It really shows the bright side of Michael, which the media never showed a lot of. I want to share a memory that is still so vivid- like it was yesterday. It was July of 1984, I was 12 years old- INXS were on their tour w/ the GO-GO's for 'The Swing'. I had been a fan ever since 'Shabooh' was released...and just HAD to see them live- so my best friend's mom took us to see them at the Dome Arena in Rochester, New York. We got to the front row- and I still remember the incredible stage presence Michael had. So vivid----them ripping into MELTING IN THE SUN. That stands out more than anything!!! I had this pair of black sunglasses w/ little white specs all over them- I handed them to Michael and he wore them during about 1/2 of their set. Well, I was 12, and that's what 12 year olds do....give their idols things. and that was the coolest thing ever - to have Michael wear my sunglasses. Now, at age 28, I still love INXS as much as I did when I was 12. I took pictures from that show, and still have them- I'd love to share them w/ everyone. I grew up listening to INXS- and how much I miss Michael's voice. As I am typing this, I am wishing I could find my Underneath the Colours album....it's in one of my numerous tape boxes that I haven't unpacked since I've moved. I so badly want to hear Horizons...that to me is one of the most awesome, and moving INXS songs.
I miss you Michael----you will always be in my heart. SHINE LIKE IT DOES....
*Kelland, my hugs to you, as you did a mighty fine job on this site! Just like any proud father would...Peace/Love, Cheryl
