Hello one and all!! Much love to you all!! Great postings! I just wanted to share something that has bothered me for a few years now.
I am the biggest child of the 80's. I LOVE U2, Inxs, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode. You name it. But INXS and U2 have been my ultimate favourtie. *My parents listened to them all the time also!!* I remember when U2 came to Toronto I FLIPPED OUT b/c I had never seen them, and when they came once before in '92 I was only 12 and tickets sold right out. They came back in '97 and my parents said the tix would be my b-day present. Right after I got U2 tickets, INXS announced a Toronto date and I was freaking out since my parents had spent so much on the U2 tickets. My mom said to me to go to U2 and enjoy it and that INXS would be back and I'd see them next time. This was October '97. The “ELEGANTLY WASTED” album was out and I LOOOVED it. I too thought “ok, next time, It's INXS I see” since they toured more regularly, whereas U2 toured every few years. Then...on November 22 I was lying in bed, and my mother came in with this shocked look on her face. (She too was a big Michael fan) and she sat down and said, “Michael Hutchence died...he was found dead in Sydney” I remember my heart sinking. I was in total shock. U know that shock where all you do is listen to the albums and look at his photos and just don't understand or can't believe it? I remember crying alone that night. Then, that thought that was in the back of my head came flooding out...“WHY DIDN'T I SEE THEM WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE????” I couldn't really beat myself up over it, b/c who would have thought THIS would happen, but it still bothered me. It bothered me I'd never hear his voice live, or see him dance again...or that his only little child was without her wonderful father. I felt awful for the bandmembers, for the fans and of course, the family. What a loss. To this day that memory still haunts me. That I never got to see them. Thats why last summer ('02) when they came I felt I owed them my support. To show them they can go on and still be amazing. Which they were!!! And the happiness on their faces made it all the more!!
To Sonali, I am sure you're uncle has found his happiness, and your little cousin will be stable with a wonderful cousin like u, and a new mother-figure. Remember, everything happens for a reason!!! Never forget that! Much love to Sonali, Nadia, Michelle & Alice and all the other WONDERFUL Michael fans!
I love u sweet Prince!! OXXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
