I've listened to Michael and INXS's music on three continents; in times of war, peace, happiness, saddness, and near death with my cancer.
The lyrics (especially the ballads) make sense to me when I am happy or sad, and give me some awareness, as if Michael were the big brother I never had, and watches out for me.
With U2's “Stuck In A Moment ...” I felt compelled to listen, even though I now rarely listen to music now -- and I've come to find out that U2 wrote it about Michael.
For a man that holds in emotion and pain for the benefit of others, Michael and INXS have allowed me an outlet in my writing, and expressing my grief through the real life characters I put down on paper.
I suppose one day I will cry, thanks to Michael and his talents.
Godspeed Michael.
