Where Surry County Lives
I wasn't sure whether to post this in here, the Celebrity Gossip, or Music Industry News and Views forum since I created it as a catch-all thread to discuss the Good (the music), the Bad (the decline in popularity), and the Ugly (the mess that was Michael's final years) of one of the biggest bands from my childhood/one of the best frontmen to ever do it. If I've placed this in the wrong subforum, please feel free to move it elsewhere, mods.
Anyway, I stumbled onto @Xxxpensive's thread about Michael's documentary and it sent me down an online rabbit hole that made me relive the band's mid-to-late 80s heyday
while rediscovering songs from their early years like
wondering how they became yesterday's news (at least, in America) an album or two after Kick and reliving the whole Michael Hutchence, Paula Yates, and Bob Geldof mess that contributed to his death at age 37:
For those of you who remember it all, were fans of the band, or are simply curious...
Oh, and for the snide little snots who wonder why such a thread is being made, there's no room for any of you to talk since there's an ongoing Chris Cornell discussion that is three threads deep as we speak
