I've met Michael maybe 3 times, but the most dramatic was when INXS played at the Capital Centre in Landover, MD. I drank too much that night - it was the Kick tour - so I spent the night in the car. My friends went to the concert while I slept in the car. After the concert I was lucid enough to be aware we were moving. I sat on the door of the car moving -5mph. Lenny Kravits' bus drove by. We played INXS. Then, another bus came by and the window opened. Michael came out and said “that's pretty cool music you're playing”. I'm half out of the car, pretty sick because of my drinking but Michael gives me an “I see you, you see me” look and it made my day. The rest of the band piled out of the window. I remember this because we had them to ourselves until the traffic knew who we were talking to and then it became crowded.

I met the band 2 times before this.

What is the most touching is this: my mom found out Michael died before I did. I was working late that day and she left me a note to tell me, basically before I could find out on MTV. It was the most touching thing she could do for me.
She told me to let some balloons go for Michael. So I did. We never bonded in a way like we did after Michael's death. My mom (who's dead now) always appreciated by infatuations.
I lost my jacket that the band signed years ago. But I have a picture with my Dad on the top of the Twin Towers in NY when I'm wearing the jacket. So I have a memory of both which is a great thing.
I love you all,
Stacey
