Nanci _____ Geldof's fear for Tiger Lily Geldof is ensuring Tiger Lily does not forget her tragic parents May 1, 2001 Web posted at: 5:04 AM EDT (0904 GMT) LONDON, England (CNN) -- Rock star and Live Aid supremo Bob Geldof has revealed his fear that his adopted daughter Tiger Lily will forget her real parents. The star, who took the youngster in following the deaths of her parents -- British television presenter Paula Yates and rock star Michael Hutchence -- said he is making great efforts to ensure the memory of them does not fade. "I have the records, photos, videos and all that stuff for her," Geldof told Hello! magazine. Hutchence committed suicide by hanging himself in a hotel room in Sydney, Australia in 1997. Yates, Geldof's ex-wife and mother of his three daughters, was found dead at her London home in September following a heroin overdose. In December, the Official Solicitor confirmed that Tiger Lily, now aged four, should spend the rest of her childhood with Geldof and her three half-sisters. In the Hello! interview, Geldof, who had a string of hits as lead singer with the Boomtown Rats, also spoke affectionately of his children's attitude to his musical talents. He said he was in a shop once with the four girls when one of his songs came on the radio. "The kids were of course horrified, 'You're rubbish Dad etc.' The usual. "The next song coincidentally was Michael's. Tiger was listening intently. "At the end she said, 'My real dad's a better singer than you, Dad'," he said.

But family values can come in the most unexpected packages. And I would like to nominate my personal award for Family Values Champion to a surprising candidate: Sir Bob Geldof, sometime singer of the Boomtown Rats, and perhaps best known universally for sitting in front of a television camera repeatedly proclaiming "Give us the fin' money!" That was in 1985, and Geldof genuinely touched the world's conscience with his pleas for a starving Africa. He was straggle-haired, unkempt-looking and sometimes seemed less than quite refined. He then published an autobiography, Is That It?, full of picaresque tales about how he and the lads got stinking drunk doing their holiday jobs, and which was, I believe, the first text to be featured on the Irish school curriculum which contained the word "wing". As most people know, Geldof married, and was subsequently divorced from, the late Paula Yates, whose own tragic story has been reported many times. After Miss Yates's death last year, Bob Geldof was to be a single parent to their three daughters, named, with charming absurdity, Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches and Pixie, and he also volunteered to bring up Paula's small daughter by the late singer Michael Hutchence, Tiger Lily. After some deliberation the courts here ruled that Tiger should indeed remain in England with her half-sisters and Bob Geldof, because that was where she was most settled. Her Australian relatives have visiting rights, which is also as it should be. And it is difficult not to feel a spontaneous rush of warm-hearted sentiment seeing how Bob Geldof has grown into the role of devoted paterfamilias. He went back to Africa recently for a promotional tour for his new musical album, called Sex, Age and Death, and he took the four girls with him. Aged 18, 12, 10 and four and a half, they are obviously wonderful company and he seems greatly to enjoy being with them. And what an affecting picture of family values emerges from the photographs of Sir Bob, with his three daughters and their little orphaned sister, Tiger, featured in last week's Hello! magazine. Tiger is seen laughing and frolicking at the very centre of the family circle, so obviously a cherished and happy child. Bob Geldof regards his decision to include Tiger Lily in his family as not specially altruistic, but natural. "What other decision was there to make?" he asks. "Here's this little sprog without a Mum or Dad. You gather her up and bring her home to her family. Where else would she be?" Geldof describes his step-child with all the parental pride of the good father: he says she's "so beautiful, completely cute and already a seriously good dancer. She's not just funny in the little things she says, she has a real sense of humour and she knows it." Though he battled with Michael Hutchence in life, and did not esteem the Australian singer's druggy ways, Geldof speaks kindly to Tiger Lily about her biological dad. The man is a model of generosity of spirit, true morality and family feeling, for heaven's sake. He would probably cringe to receive such commendations from the likes of me and would brush them aside with some laconic put-down, but he deserves praise for the responsible way he has cared for his children. Consider, for example, that his initial custodial battles with Paula were over the question of school attendance. She wanted to take the kids to Australia in the middle of school terms. Geldof put his foot down and insisted his daughters should attend school regularly. That is precisely what fathers are for: sometimes they should be "patriarchal" about upholding domestic law and order, where chaos threatens. "Family values" should not, and do not, apply just to nicely-spoken folks who keep their herbaceous borders tidy. And not everyone who upholds "the family" as an ideal manages to live up to their own standards either. (Ronald Reagan comes to mind - wonderful President, complete failure as a father.) But Geldof, because of his right-on appearance, street-cred language and continuing obsession with pop music, has given an exceptionally good example to a generation of younger males who are not at all sure what it takes to be a responsible family man.

I was very disappointed though that the cover of the issue I bought had instead of Bob, a photo of Caroline Kennedy and that Bush woman from the Jackie Kennedy tribute in NYC. I think perhaps the cover shot of Bob was released in the U.K. and we in that U.S. got the other cover. Maddening. The reason I love Hello! so much is that, unlike most American magazines it features long articles with many photos (often of people who don't get nearly as much coverage in the U.S.) It was fascinating to see the photos of the girls - Pixie in particular is growing up to be gorgeous (she looked a little like Michael in the photos, and could be mistaken for his daughter in my opinion. Peaches looks more like Paula, and Fifi like Bob.) Tiger is smiling as ever in every photo and appears to be a happy child. It is unlikely that a child so young could fake the happiness that shines through in the photos. It appeared to me that for all their happiness, a trace of sadness was still evident especially in the faces of Fifi and Peaches, but from the affection they showed their Dad in all the photos they appear to be a close family. Bob looks very loving in each photo and it to anyone's eye it would appear to be genuine. He has cut off all his hair and looks great. It was amusing to note that he mentions "all four girls can sing better than their fathers!" and he has the wonderful things to say about each of the girls. He comes off as a very proud and supportive dad and in each photo with the girls somebody is displaying affection to someone, Fifi with her arms around her Dad, Fifi holding Tiger in her lap, Peaches hugging Pixie and Pixie playing with Tiger. The photos are telling and special - there is one in of Bob and Tiger that is particularly poignant. As nice a moment as the photo reveals, one looking at it cannot help but notice the absence of Michael and Paula, which is very sad. As a Boomtown Rats fan who saw the band perform several years ago in NYC and has met Bob on various occasions, it was somewhat of a shock to me to see what a family man and Dad he has become! I find him admirable as I have in the past and I think he is doing a good job of turning a horrible tragedy into a happy life for those four girls. For any of you who have access to Hello! I recommend this issue. Part 2 of the interview and story to follow in next week's Hello! -- there goes more of my money spent!

What was good about the U.S. tour is that they would have been in the states when Anthology is slated to shelf and now the tie-in is lost. Tours and albums are typically more lucrative when they released concurrently. What what would have been smart is if INXS could have reslated a U.S. tour immediately after they knew of the Midnight Oil cancellation. There would have been enough time to get the tour started in June/July and possibly negotiate with Rhino to delay Anthology a few weeks. (Maybe even get a Let It Ride out a single to generate some airplay promotion. Of course, Rhino isn't really a singles label and they don't have the machinery to push a song into the charts nor do I think that pop radio would care, so maybe not.) Having the album and tour right on top of each other would double the media promotion and help boost sales of both. But at this point I'm sure its too late to work something like that out.

This is all JUST MY GUESSING, but I'd say the reason why they can tour solo in Oz and not in the US is because of popularity. In Oz (I'm assuming) they're still regarded as a cool band with every right to be touring. In the US, however, like it or not, they've been relegated to the "80s band" genre, and can (one could argue) almost be regarded as a novelty act. ***I'm not saying they ARE a novelty act, just that they easily fall in with the 80s band/retro/novelty scheme of things.*** Here in Raleigh, they were getting lots of press, lots of radio coverage promoting the tour, etc, however the ads always said something to the effect of "get your 80s fix!" at some point. The tour was not being promoted simply on its musical laurels, but as a way for those of us who grew up in the 80s to relive jr high and high school. The clips of songs played during the ads were all from the Kick and pre-kick era, and honestly, no mention was made of any recent works. (I'm using the term "recent" here loosely, obviously.) Of course the no Michael factor must also be considered because, let's face it, to the majority of people out there, Michael WAS INXS. "Jon Stevens? Who's that?" they'll all be asking themselves. At least in Oz Jon has a name for himself, which I'm sure will prove to be a draw to his fans, as well as those looking to INXS again. So, I'd say the reason they can tour Oz and can't slap a US tour together is simply because of visibility/popularity issues. The US tour market is flooded every summer, and this one is no exception. For a promoter to book a tour, they have to feel they can make money, and honestly, I'm sure many people out there doubt whether INXS on their own can do that in the US at this time.

INXS are certainly not popular by any stretch of the imagination here in Oz. In many circles, they are considered an 80s has-been band or even now just a cover band (without Michael no INXS theory)... The extremely low Aussie dollar would be a contributing factor as to why it's easier for them to play in Queensland, and not tour the States. Oh, and please everyone don't say they are touring Australia. They are only playing in Queensland and Nothern New South Wales. For me, it'd be just as difficult to get to these shows as most of you guys there in the States. I'd love to go, but for purely a financial point of view I don't think I could possibly afford it (esp. considering I'm about to resign from my job of 11 years... What am I thinking??)..... I can understand everyone's dissappoinment with them not touring the States as promised, and I sympathise greatly with you all.... I guess all I can say is keep on praying that they tour more widely, and hope that the Aussie dollar improves significantly in the short term. Ok, enuff skat from me.

Right before they played the song, Bono was doing the usual "chat up the crowd," talking about the last time they were in town (20 yrs. ago at a 500 capacity venue) and how great it was to be back, blah blah blah. Then he gathered the band together, making it look almost like he was changing up the set list, came back to the front of the stage and said, "This is for Michael Hutchence, who was a friend of mine." They then did the song, and as the music faded out, and all the lights were out, Bono called out "Hutch" twice. P.S. to the U2 fans out there -- the concert was the day before Bono's b'day, and during the encore, right after they played "One," Bono started singing "happy birthday to me" and the crowd joined in.

There are some odd pairings in music. Who would have put the ostensibly homophobic Eminem with Elton John before their duet at the Grammys? At first sight, the musical coupling of Andrew Farriss, keyboard player and songwriter for stadium rock veterans INXS, and Tania Kernaghan, mainstream country music's most popular performer, is pretty damn odd. But dig a little and Farriss's decision to produce Kernaghan's third album begins to make sense. For a start, while Farriss's previous public brush with country might have been a cowboy hat worn during an INXS video clip, he has been to Tamworth's Country Music Festival three times. In the studio last week putting down the instrumental tracks, Farriss, a voracious reader of Australian history, explains that ``I have an interest in most things Australian, not just country music''. ``One of the things which most drew me to work in this particular arena ... is that Australia's country music scene is as much folk music as country music,'' he says. Farriss also confesses that for some time he's been working on a private project which has ``some elements of country music sounds and instruments''. But the bigger question is why Kernaghan has left the stable of Garth Porter, the uberproducer of Australian country? Porter, the keyboard player for '70s satin rockers Sherbet, has produced just about every significant country singer in Australia in the past decade, from Lee and Tania Kernaghan to newcomers such as Felicity. (Though two of the best, the Dead Ringer Band and Kasey Chambers, are not Porter-produced.) Supporters point to his ability to discover and nurture new talent and help them sell a lot of records to the most conservative record-buying market. But he has been criticised for imposing a homogenous sound and structure that produces crafted but unadventurous results. For Tania Kernaghan, it's just a case of growing up and out. ``I wanted to experiment,'' she says. ``Garth is very good at what he does and he has musicians that he likes to work with because he knows what he can get out of them. ``But I wanted a `Tania Kernaghan sound', to get away from the familiar sound in country music. To move away slightly, to try and develop something that sounds different.'' One step was bringing in Farriss; the other was enlisting the help of several members of John Farnham's touring band. From the brief hearing the Herald had of the recordings, these musicians bring a touch of white soul to songs that are clearly country but not as predictable as in the past. ``That first afternoon [the Farnham boys played with her] I could hear I was getting my own sound. I was getting pretty excited,'' Kernaghan says. ``I wasn't asking them to play `country'. It was pretty much, `You bring to me what has made you so great.' ``Andrew and I have had eight months of pre-production, a lot of time to talk and talk, and Andrew has made me hear things that I've never heard before. Not rock music but sounds and ways that music can be played. I love it; he's really introduced me to a whole new world. ``It's a Kernaghan record for godsakes it's got to be country, you know. But with the country lyrics, about Australian people and Australian places that I like to sing about, with Andrew's and the musicians' experience, it's an amazing fresh sound.'' How true this is we won't know until November when the album, likely to be called Big Sky Country, is released. A single, Goin' Bush, should be out in July.

Geldof, who is raising the four-year-old orphaned when his ex- wife Paula Yates died last year, told Hello! magazine he saw himself as Tiger's father. The little girl was pictured enjoying herself in South Africa with Geldof's three daughters by Miss Yates, as well as being introduced to Nelson Mandela. The article brought heartache, however, to the home of Hutchence's family in Australia. They say they have not seen Tiger despite a number of requests to Geldof. Kelland Hutchence, whose son died in a Sydney hotel room in 1997, his wife Patricia and daughter Tina are reluctant to speak publicly about the situation. But a family friend explained yesterday: 'They were so upset to read about Tiger being on holiday with the girls and all of that. 'They are worried and upset because they think she's being given a home at the expense of knowing her father's family. It breaks their heart to see it in a magazine. 'In one way, of course, Bob has a heart of gold to be looking after her. But they're also very anguished about not seeing that sweet girl.' Geldof was given temporary custody of Tiger when she was made a ward of court following Miss Yates's death from a drug overdose. Three months later, the High Court ruled she should stay with him, rather than Tina Hutchence, who had also applied to look after her. The ruling will be reviewed annually but is unlikely to change. Geldof told Hello! his own daughters Fifi, 18, Peaches, 12, and ten-year-old Pixie adored Tiger. And he rejected suggestions that it was a noble act to give her a home. 'Here's this little sprog without a mum or dad,' he told the magazine. 'You gather her up and bring her home to her family. 'Where else would she be? It all seems a bit of a no-brainer to me.' Geldof, who is now romantically involved with the French actress Jeanne Marine, was unavailable for comment last night.

He has spent more than GBP300,000 on major refurbishment at Davington Priory in Kent, which he bought with Paula and used as a family weekend retreat when they were still happily married. Many locals in the nearby village of Faversham believed Sir Bob wanted to sell the mansion because it held too many memories of Paula. But instead it has emerged that the Band Aid star is determined Tiger Lily should grow to love the house as much as her mother did. Sir Bob has been widely praised for his devotion to Tiger Lily, daughter of the late INXS star Michael Hutchence, for whom Paula left him in 1995. Hutchence was found hanged in a Sydney hotel room in November 1997 and, still stricken with grief, Paula died at her London home last September after overdosing on heroin. But rather than turn his back on the child of his ex-wife and her lover, Sir Bob has made clear he intends to raise Tiger Lily as part of his family. The four-year-old orphan is growing up alongside his three daughters by Paula, Fifi Trixibelle, 18, Peaches, 12, and Pixie, 10. The renovation work is chiefly aimed at converting the attic into two new guest rooms - suggesting the former Boomtown Rats star also plans more entertaining. Sir Bob is also refurbishing the summer house and adding a new thatched roof. New wooden decking is being laid to provide a walkway round the grounds. And a planning application has been lodged with the local council to redevelop the dilapidated gardener's house close to the main entrance. He is also installing a new GBP30,000 central heating system to replace the Priory's "ancient" one. The gardens will also be landscaped. When the vast project is completed later this summer it will fulfil a dream which began in 1981 when Paula first set eyes on the 12th century manor house. She and Sir Bob treasured the former nunnery as a sanctuary from the hectic pace of their rock and roll lifestyles. Geldof has used proceeds from the sale of his Internet business deckchair. com to fund the project.

But his bandmates have battled on, first recruiting Terence Trent Darby and now Jon Stevens to fill the main microphone duties. And while some fans maintain that INXS cannot exist without Hutchence, bass player Garry Gary Beers believes the group is far from finished. Beers met recently with fellow founders Kirk Pengilly (guitar/saxophone) and the brothers Farriss - Tim (guitar), Andrew (keyboards) and Jon (drums) - to discuss their combined future. Turns out that the musicians, along with former Noiseworks frontman Stevens, have more than enough freshly written material for another INXS album ... even two or more. Will they record? `It's the logical thing as far as I'm concerned,' offers Beers from his Central Coast home. The international chart-toppers, formed in 1977, have not had an Australian recording deal since Hutchence was found hanged in a Sydney motel room in November 1997. Beers explains that their contract included a `key man' clause. Sadness resonates through his 43-year-old voice as he adds: `Michael dying turned everything upside down.' Beers has a lot in his glass at the moment. As well as considering the INXS studio reunion, he has unleashed a new musical project called Mudhead and has started his own recording label. Essentially a studio-based creation, Mudhead is a collaboration between Beers and ex-Southern Sons leader Jack Jones. Their maiden album together features stellar contributions from guitarist David Leslie (The Baby Animals), Canadian slide player Kirk Lorange and drummer Alex Formosa. It's kind of like a heavy rock version of The Absent Friends, the stellar part-time group co-founded by Beers in the late 1980s. `Jack (Jones) has always been regarded as a great singer,' Beers says. `When I started telling people that he was also playing guitar with Mudhead, they seemed surprised. But they all changed their mind after hearing the album. He's an absolutely amazing guitarist.' The Mudhead album includes `lyrical assistance' from Beers' wife, Jodie, and artwork from their young daughter, Lucy-Mae. It was recorded at Mangrove Studios, the forest-ringed complex on the large Somersby property that the Beers family has called home for the past 14 years. Recent guests at Mangrove include silverchair, Frenzal Rhomb, Human Nature, Something For Kate and The Whitlams. `We've only got one neighbour and he lives in the bush about 100 metres away,' Beers explains. With the main man being part of what was once touted as the world's biggest band, Mudhead pricked the interest of major labels but none were willing to put money where their mouth was. `I took it around all the majors and a few of them said "yeah, we love it, let's go",' Beers says. `But they backed out, like they always do, so I decided that the way to go was to start my own label.' Hence the birth of Override Records, a Beers partnership with Sebastian Chase, the boss of Phantom Records and a long-time champion of independent Australian artists. They have already signed up a couple of young acts but Beers does not envisage Override becoming a vehicle for INXS. `The band could form its own label,' he says. `I don't want the responsibility of being the record company that looks after INXS.' If all had gone as he planned, Beers would not have been able to speak with Weekender. INXS were supposed to be preparing for a tour of the US with Midnight Oil and Men At Work, with all three bands having helped bring the curtain down on the Sydney Olympics. But the Oils withdrew and the tour canned, which was frustrating for the members of INXS, particularly Tim Farriss, who had flown Stateside to start promotion. `It was a bummer for us because we're just releasing a double album of our greatest hits (Shine Like It Does),' Beers says. `We were looking forward to going over to America to play all those songs.'

I mean > Kurt had many attempts...Michaels was out of no where, I say that should be > higher up there/ I was more shocked when Michael died than I was when Kurt died, however, in the grand scheme of Rock Moments, I can see why Kurt ranks higher. Keep in mind, Nirvana were (at least in the public's mind), the founders of the grunge movement, and it wasn't yet over. So, when the leader of a seminal grunge band turned up dead, it was a shock. If Michael had died in the midst of the Kick era, I think his death would have shown up MUCH MORE on the cultural radar than it did, coming in 1997. One of the rankings I'm puzzled by (and this isn't meant to start a whole other tangent, I swear!) is "2. Michael Jackson accused" Why on earth was that a shocker? I'd suspected him for years, as had many, many other people. To me, that was just a confirmation/validation of a suspicion.

Why does that guy mess with Sam at the beginning? We never see him cause trouble or owe anyone money or anything. Why can't he defend himself? Why does Anna have to defend him? Is Sam sick? Does he have cancer or something? (I thought I heard another character say to another that he had cancer, but there is no further explanation.) Why does he watch tv so close to the screen? Does he have a job? What the heck is with his relationship with food/his mom? Will THE GIRL become ANNA? What the heck is with THE GIRL anyway? Does Sam know THE GIRL is THE GIRL and not Anna when he kisses her? Am I really supposed to take anything away from seeing the film other than the drug scene of Melbourne in the 70's? I teach film studies and couldn't glean anything other than that from the piece as a whole. The scene where Anna walks through the house and the limo pulls up is electric though! And when Michael is singing "ROOMS FROM MEMORY" at the end, is that Michael singing as Michael or Michael singing as Sam? (I know this sounds silly, but I was pondering it as I know Lowenstein shot a number of videos and was wondering if he was capitalizing on the star he was working with.) I love Michael and if he wasn't in this film, I really think I would have turned it off...but all the same, I know I will watch it again and again. DAMN, he was sooooooooooooooooo beautiful! love and peace to all! marlo! From: To: Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2001 8:48 PM Subject: Re: [Inxs] Dogs in Space Well, let's see. My interpretation might not be the same as someone else's. In the beginning I would say that guy that picks on Sam knows him from somewhere, I would just assume that as they do not further the scene. I think that is why he is asking Sam is he from the planet stupidah or poofdah? I think Sam is too high and too mellow to stand up for himself, lets face it, Sam does not do much on his own. So Anna stands up for him. Sam does not have cancer, the subject was brought up when the social worker came to solicit Sam's band to play for benefit such as cancer, the word was overheard and was taken in context as something that Sam might have, everyone was too high to figure anything out. He watches TV so close because he can't see well. No he does not have a job, he just freeloads. His mom is concerned about him and brings him food and does laundry. The GIRL is a runaway and is trying to emulate Anna. Anna is kind of like the mother figure and everyone looks up to her. I think when Sam kisses the GIRL he thinks that the GIRL is Anna and realizes she is not when Anna comes down the street. The GIRL will probably turn out the same as Anna, at least that is how I see it. I think the ending when Michael is singing "Rooms for the Memory" is kind of like a futuristic vision of what Sam could of been. Correct me everyone if I am wrong as I think everyone can interpret the movie differently. I could relate to the movie as it was my era and even though things were not that depressed here in the states there were similar type things like that going on. I think that the movie was very well done, there is so much going on in the movie all at one time in some scenes that I think it was rather brilliant. Of course Michael being in it made all the difference!

Overall, I greed with Linda's interoperation of things. Here's mine: > Why does that guy mess with Sam at the beginning? We never see him cause > trouble or owe anyone money or anything. I always just chalked it up to the guy being a jerk. Why do bullies pick on anyone? And, the fact that Sam is obviously not a huge, muscular guy probably made him that much more of a target. >Why can't he defend himself? Why does Anna have to defend him? I think he can defend himself, if sober, but he chooses not too. He knows Anna &/or his other friends will, so why put forth the effort? > Is Sam sick? Does he have cancer or something? (I thought I heard another > character say to another that he had cancer, but there is no further > explanation.) He's not sick per se, just a junkie. I agree with Linda, the cancer comment comes from the charity concert conversation Sam has with the concert coordinator. >Why does he watch tv so close to the screen? He doesn't see well. And, as I recall from an interview Kirk gave once, this was a problem Michael had as well. I remember Kirk saying that once Michael got his contacts he looked out at the audience before going on stage one night (sometime after LLT, I'm guessing) and came back to the dressing room and said, "there's 15,000 people out there!" Kirk laughed and said Michael had only been really aware of the first 15 or 20 rows up to that point. > Does he have a job? He does if you count being the lead singer for DIS. > What the heck is with his relationship with food/his mom? I think he just likes food, and will eat anything put before him. As for his mom, he cares about her, and she obviously cares about him, but he's too messed up to have a real relationship. But, his mom hopes things will get better, so she does his laundry, brings him food, and tries to keep up with his life (that's why she asks if he's still with "that girl"). And, she tries to keep him up on what's going on with people from his "other" life, by telling him that Fr. Francis asked about him, etc. > Will THE GIRL become ANNA? In some way, let's hope not exactly though. > What the heck is with THE GIRL anyway? She's a runaway and knows that a house full of squatters aren't likely to reject her or kick her out. > Does Sam know THE GIRL is THE GIRL and not Anna when he kisses her? I'm not sure. Overall, I think he thinks she's Anna until Anna drives up, but at the same time, he's so whacked out that he could have just been surprised to see Anna. I'd like to think he thinks The Girl is Anna. > Am I really supposed to take anything away from seeing the film other than > the drug scene of Melbourne in the 70's? I think that's the main point. The whole thing was intended originally to be an anti-heroin film; it just snowballed into a full-length feature. > And when Michael is singing "ROOMS FROM MEMORY" at the end, is that Michael > singing as Michael or Michael singing as Sam? (I know this sounds silly, but > I was pondering it as I know Lowenstein shot a number of videos and was > wondering if he was capitalizing on the star he was working with.) I've always viewed this as a solo piece by Michael, not a song by Sam (for one thing, the style is totally different from anything Sam would have ever done). I don't think Lowenstein was capitalizing on Michael though, I think this was something where both of them benefited: Lowenstein got a hit song on his soundtrack, and Michael was able to test the waters in terms of solo work. (This foreshadowed the whole Max Q project a few years later, I think, since Ollie Olson was a part of DIS as well.)

The gardens were really peaceful and I thought that it was a fitting tribute to him. Unfortunately, there weren't many flowers there. Although, someone had left some candles and some letters. If anyone has the chance it is worth visiting but it is a very difficult place to find. You need to go to the Northern Suburbs Crematorium (not cemetery) & Memorial Gardens on Delhi Road in North Ryde, Sydney. Be warned that it is not within walking distance, as I discovered to my cost, when I got lost and ended-up walking (illegally) down the side of a main road. Your best bet is to catch the bus to Chatswood, not North Ryde. The bus to Chatswood stops right outside. The staff there were very helpful and directed me to his memorial. Just thought there might be somebody who would like to go. I came all the way from England so I wasn't going to let getting lost put me off. Rach.

I am going to OZ June 14 and am going to be visiting the memorial. From the maps I have gathered, I know that finding it will not be easy. I am currently compiling a list of INXS/Hutchence related areas in Sydney and Melbourne and have gotten some info from you LISTEES! Feel free to mail me directly with any sites you think should be included. When the list is complete, I will post it so everyone can have a copy. Btw, anyone know the addy of Hordern Pavillion?
