Quite literally, back in 1987, KICK was one of the first cds I ever owned. I was 13 years old at the time it came out. I remember the summer right before Michael passed thinking to myself how much I loved the music and for some reason still hadn't managed to see them in concert, INXS was scheduled to play a local concert festival, but I ended up having to work that day... I was bummed but figured I'd just make a point to catch them next time they were in town... and then I heard the news. I've been listening to INXS alot lately - sort of like rediscovering a long lost friend. My thoughts are with the band and family members he left behind...
