.....I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all directions
Resolution of happiness
Things have been dark for too long.....
My friend worked in the record store. For my 17th b-day, she gave one of those full size (floor to ceiling) display posters of the Kick album. OMG, I was just blown away. 😲
Good times 😊
This was achingly cool at the time, it still is, but Michael Hutchence looks so young. I’d have skipped on by now if I’d glimpsed this as a new release. Maybe I should pay more attention to the kids’ music. Give it a chance.
Love that tune, but I think we're all lonely, Scott. What happened to the social order of ten years ago? Texting? COVID? Computer addiction/manipulation?
In 1987, I joined SUNY Albany’s concert board club, and we signed INXS to play the Palace Theater (for relatively low $). The concert was one week after the release of Kick, which made them superstars. Because I was in the club, I got third-row center seats, and it was an amazing show.
Did you know that Marjorie Taylor Greene was in a popular band? Her looks have dropped off since then, but that's why she's such a twisted sister nowadays. #mtg
It’s the reason I mentioned hotel (in Double Bay. I was living in Sydney at the time, literally up the road in Potts Point. Didn’t seek out the room, too soon and poor taste.)
Such a more accepting time. Top 10 had a mix of music I.e. pop heavy metal soft rock all accepted. We had Boy George , Prince and Van Halen, men wore heels and makeup and No one blinked an eye.
RIP to The Beautiful One. Saw INXS live at a mini-music fest at Texas Stadium in Dallas (1987?). The undercard bands, in order: The Smithereens; Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers; & Guns ‘n’ Roses.
True story. I was such a nerd and pretty poor. Definitely did not have MTV.My mom took me back to school shopping at a discount place where I bought an INXS sweat shirt and some stirrup pants. Wore it to my first day of 6th grade. Got so many compliments and “I love that band.” Had no clue. None.

Swoon.
So far, so good. No HR calls 😅
I wish more men like you told our younger men what is wrong today. They don’t hear enough on MSM about what’s right vs wrong.
We need another venue
*sigh*
sometimes you kick
sometimes you get kicked
I always thought this music video was well shot/well done, and with a mysterious looking Prague in the misty backdrop
