Several good points here...but one question:

Honestly, how can they go on?  Do you think MO would go on if PG died?  Do
you think Led Zeppelin should have gone on without John Bonham?

IMHO, when a band loses an integral member, without whom they COULDN'T BE
the same band, they should just end it.

Yes, INXS with out Michael... I am soo torn over this subject I love both
bands!!  I hate it that oils fans speak soo ill of INXS. When I went  to see
the Oils last year in Seattle, I was fortunate enough to meet them ( A LONG
overdue THANK YOU to the Powderworkers that made it happen !!)  I had a 20
minute each conversation with Martin and Jim about INXS/Sydney/Michael.
They both said to me how glad they were to see INXS still going on after
Michaels passing and how it was best for both bands not to do the Aussie
Bite tour, because each band can very easily do a 2 hour set and  on the
tour they would only get 40 minutes.. Not enought time at all to really show
what they can do.  I also met Tim Farriss whem I was in Sydney, he is a very
nice man, as well as talented musician.  I did not speak about the oils with
him, but he was telling me how much he supports aussie music, getting out to
international audiences. I do agree it was not the best of statements, but
if we were all condemed over one statement, what does that say about  us as
human beings??  I am sure everyone on this board has said something they
wish they had not at some point in there lives.  Also, yeah Tim was upset
when the tour was canceled cos he was alone in the states promoting the tour
by him self. So I could see how he would be wounded.
Bye the way .... They have recorded new music with out Michael and are going
to preview it on this upcoming tour, and going to try and get another record
contract as well.  I do not think they should stop being INXS because
Michael made a mistake, it is not like he is still alive and they kicked him
out.  He died, I think Michael would want them to continue as INXS, they had
just as much input in the band as he did for 23 years.  All of this has me
stuck between a serious rock and a hard place.

Thank you  for hearing me out... I wait the flames... sadly..
Janie
