She celebrated her birthday all the way in Sydney, without me. I told her to go get her law degree because no one could do it better. So because I cannot be there, I’ve decided to bang away on my keyboard like Kerouac and, without second drafts or Shift+F7 shortcuts, talk about the one thing that will bind us until we are decrepit, tattooed and toothless spinsters: rock and roll.

Two Sundays ago in an exclusive one-on-one with Conversations with Ricky Lo, INXS drummer Jon Farriss, when asked how new member J.D. Fortune (discovered in a 12-week search on the CBS reality-TV show Rock Star: INXS to replace soloist Michael Hutchence who died under mysterious circumstances in l997) is blending into the group, said, "He’s good; he’s really good. He’s blending very well into a band that has been together for many years, that has been touring for nearly 30 years.

INXS, Switch

Epic, 2006


A shared tale two decades removed: 


In May 1981, magnificent Manchester band Joy Division was on the verge of a US tour. In November 1997, magnificent Australian band INXS was on the verge of an anniversary tour.


Neither came to pass, as both their vocalists decided to end their lives that month – Ian Curtis in the kitchen of his home, Michael Hutchence in a Ritz Hotel room in Sydney.

Michael was disconsolate. He wanted Paula to come to Australia because he could not bear not to see his daughter Tiger Lily. Paula had just come from a British court where she and former husband Sir Bob Geldof where engaged in child custody case over their three daughters. Paula said she could not come at that very moment. She and Michael had to wait for a few more weeks before they could see each other.

I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck

With a pink carnation and a pickup truck

But I knew that I was out of luck

The day the music died

– from Don McLean’s American Pie


Oh, well, the day when the music almost died for INXS was on Nov. 22, 1997 when vocalist Michael Hutchence was found dead in a Sydney hotel room, an apparent victim of suicide.

Rockstar: INXS took reality TV on a new level when it went in search of a new vocalist for INXS, the Australian rock band from the ‘80s.

The competition was won by Canadian J.D.
