Yes it was a shock.No one really knows what is in one's mind,but it definitely was brilliant in Michael's case.I discovered INXS while working in a record store in the early 80's.Born in 1960 as well,I did not miss the purchase of an “album” and would look at the liner notes and the pictures.Not nearly as impersonal as downloading and digital,as the kids are accumulating their music collection...on their computer ,now a days.But there is no doubt INXS is on their i-pod.P
