Michael, I feel like I know you, even though we've never met. I feel like you are still here, somehow. I know how deeply you love and miss Tiger and that keeps you close... You were a gift to our generation: your phenom voice, your enigmatic lyrics, your energetic/mesmerizing/charismatic ways on stage. I was a working musician during the 70s and 80s and 90s and, as such,
never got to see INXS live, but I sure got to watch you on MTV from many a hotel room after the gig!!! I was born just 8 weeks before you on November 23, 1959, and felt like I'd had the wind knocked out of me when I heard the terrible news on the radio, one day before my 38th birthday, a birthday that you wouldn't reach. You left us too soon...Baby Come Back...I see you often in my dreams and it is so vivid that I try not to wake up because you are alive again there, in my dreams. We both had our first and only children late in life. My son, Ethan Wyatt was born on May 23, 1995, having my same birthday # -just like you and Tiger share the same #22. I was 35 when my son was born and I believe you were 36 when Tiger was born on July 22, 1996. I wonder and worry and pray about her, especially since Paula passed on. The world is much diminished without your presence in it, Michael. My tears will never really dry up for you. You accomplished so much in such a short time, your example will always inspire me and colour the way I am with my son.
Thank you for everything you are...Peace
