Reviews
This book was something I'd looked forward to but wasn't quite able to read for more years than I care to count. The reason being; emotions. Far too many for far too long. I was a young American who loved all kings of music and was determined to delve into other parts of the world to find it. I discovered Inxs through an Aussie pen pal. (Yes, back when we actually wrote letters to send around the world, waiting weeks to hear back) She sent me a cassette tape of Underneath the Colours and I immediately became obsessed. I spent years hoping this band would come to the US and when they finally did, it was one of the greatest shows I'd ever seen. I bought all of their albums over the subsequent years and saw them countless times in concert. I even spent 1987-88 following them all over the Eastern Us.Inxs for me, sounded like no other band, even though I had tons of favorites besides them. Their dynamic couldn't be copied. Their energy couldn't be harnessed. And I absolutely adored them for it.When Michael Hutchence died, I was devastated. I loved every member of the band an third contributions. But he, well..he was incredibly special to me. I met him in a bar in Va Beach. He was the most fun insane, and brutally sexy creature I'd ever come across. It was brief and alcohol laden, ending with passing out on a beach. Which of course, it turns out I had no idea until this book, he was prone to. I'll never forget it.For years after he died, I mourned quietly with my friends who had also indulged in their love for all things Inxs. I paid no attention to the rumors and tumultuous press that hounded the music papers and rumor mags. None of it mattered to because we had lost an icon that could never be replaced, regardless of the reasons behind it.And then along came the MTV show that was about to replace that icon. I was furious. And I was bitterly sad. But somehow a friend convinced me to watch and thus...J.D was incarnated into the band I'd always loved. I have to admit that I liked him, (his voice and swagger) though I thought he was an arrogant sod and never could bring myself to see them in concert again.A few years ago (2014) I heard about the mini series on Showtime about Inxs. I watched it and found myself singing along and shedding tears that I thought long dry. It was brilliantly fun but heart wrenching. And it brought back many fond memories of a youth long gone. Back when music was still thrilling an unique.So then I finally decided to read this book. And I wasn't the least bit disappointed. It's written well and is packed with wonderful information and insight into the musical love of my life that was Inxs. Thank you SO much for a definitive literate occount of the boys from Down Under who stole my heart and many others. Their music is still phenomenal to this day and stands the test of time better than most. Give this a read. Not only as a musical biography but also if you're a fan. It's well worth the time.And Michael? We miss you to this day. I hope you found the paradise you always deserved!
