INXS was one of the first “real” bands i latched onto as a child (born in 79, got into inxs by age 8), and “Kick” was one of the very first CDs i bought in a now large collection. i loved their music, passion, the energy and the look. i was so excited a number of years ago to walk into a used clothing store and see an original “kick tour 1988” t-shirt for $3! i still wear it proudly, evoking many odd looks, but more smiles and nods. just a black t that says “INXS” on the front. perfect. they will always be on my top 10 list, and the loss of michael is still felt by generations of rockers and listeners.
