A sad, sad tragedy. Even though I never had the opportunity to meet him or attend an INXS show it feels like the loss of a personal friend because I heard the music and viewed the media pictures of him daily. I have always considered the “KICK” album to be one of the greatest albums of the entire decade of the 80's. For that alone Michael, the band, and all of their families should be proud. But when looking at the big picture, “KICK” was just a small part of a truly talented, gifted life and career.
