Yesterday I was looking at photos of myself and my bedroom. My walls were covered with INXS and Michael Hutchence memorabilia, and I was only 11. =) The back of the picture was dated 1987. Here we are in 1999, 12 years later, and my walls are still covered with photos, and while I've changed physically, emotionally I am still very attached to INXS and to their music. Michael Hutchence is my hero. I have always looked to his charisma and style, mannerisms and voice for a sense of comfort and peace. He touched the very heart of who I am through his music and being, I can be myself because of him. Luckily I saw him in concert once, Feb. 5, 1991 at the Miami Arena. He was everything I hoped he'd be and more. Talk about stage presence! Of course when I learned of his death I was crushed, but now, 2 years later, I think of him in a better place, singing with the angels, and that makes me happy. Now,just as I saw him thrive on Earth, I like to think he is watching me do the same.
