When John Lennon was tragically murdered my stepfather - an unabashed Beatles fan who filled our house with everything Beatles - suddenly stopped listening. Albums went unheard for decades. I always thought how odd it was.
I first heard INXS in 1983 at the US Festival in San Bernardino, CA and was mad for them after that. I used to joke we were cousins (as it turns out we may be in a very very distant way!). But, when Michael died, and without realizing - I suddenly stopped listening.
I've recently found my way back to INXS, and while his loss is still shockingly painful all these years later - you know, the typical what ifs - the overwhelming flood of memories have reignited my love for Michael, INXS, and their music.
As it turns out .. they never left me and were always there in the recesses of my mind. I just had to find my way back.
