It's a rare thing to find a magical connection between artists such as existed with the talent in this band. Together since schoolmates, only the great ones ever are. Michael's lyrical gift was more impressive than the likes of Jim Morrison in my American opinion. Sadly so many will never know how meant to be INXS was. Americans would never give his poetic brilliance the timeless honor it deserves. He was one of my kind. - Brenda Cook
