I was so saddened to hear of the death of your son and friend. Although I wasn't a huge fan of INXS, I thought their music was ground-breaking and they had a very “tight” sound. Extremely polished. Michael's lyrics and vocals were the best of his time. Since I didn't follow the band or popular music news in general, I was shocked to hear of his death about 9 months ago on a VH-1 tribute show. About 2 or 3 months ago, I heard “Slide Away” for the first time. It touched me deeply. I just read the coroner's report on the INXS site. I hadn't realized that Michael took his like just a few weeks before Bill, my older brother, ended his life. Like Bono's plaintive lament, I wish my brother had contacted me prior to making his decision. Apparently, alcohol was involved in my brother's demise, as well. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. We all have so much to live for.
