Michael Hutchence- INXS

For his part, Tim Farriss has little time for swatting the “cockroaches” these days. Blissfully resident in Italy for much of the past year, he evinces very little interest in raking over whatever mistakes might have been made in the shell-shocked aftermath of that terrible night, 20 years ago. “The big mistake was really in [Michael’s] passing,” he says. “Not seeing the signs, just saying ‘Good night, see you tomorrow’, like we had a million times before … Not seeing it coming was the biggest thing of all. The sheer shock was unbelievable.

The funny thing with time is, in rock and roll is, is that everybody wants to ask 20 year olds their thoughts on god, love, politics, money etc and the universe and they don’t even know what they’re talking about. By the time you get to 32 you got the stuff worked out and no one cares.
