I think INXS needs to get over themselves, realize their careers are =
over without their dead singer and accept the fact they are a washed-up =
80's band. I do like INXS, but come on. Cant they just be happy with =
the success they had and move on? Midnight Oil has made an impact in =
the States and around the world, along with several other Australian =
bands that are still making records. The only difference, the Oil's =
have done it on their own terms and are still around because of it.
Maybe on the next tour Pete can were leather pants, grow out some greasy =
hair, sing over marketed pop songs and pretend to be God. Then, maybe, =
he might be able to be considered successful like Tim Farriss.
Just my opinion:)

Subject: [Powderworks] Oils/INXS.
The following is a little snippet of an interview that was in MX, the =
paper handed out for free in Mlebourne, in the afternoons. Everyday =
there is a quick q & a with someone different. It was a bit of promotion =
for Tim Farriss as he was headlining a guitar festival at Frankston on =
that weekend.=20
Q.Who among your 80's rivals in the Oz rock industry did you most =
admire?
A.The only band I'd compare INXS with in terms of work ethic and =
dedication to succeed is AC/DC. They have put in a hell of a lot of work =
over a long period of time. Cold Chisel were great and they did well in =
Australia, but they couldn't do what we did.
Q. You mean make it in the States?
A.Yeah. While we were working our butts off they were arguing among =
themselves or not willing to put in the time. That's why Midnight Oil =
didn't make it overseas. They were happy with that and good on them, but =
it meant they never cracked it overseas.
Q.INXS has announced a 40-city tour of the US. Considering the band =
had seven top 10 hits there you must be looking forward to returning?
A. It brings back good and bad memories.The States are the States.They =
can be a bitch.But if you want to work as a rock band and acheive global =
success you have to go there. If you don't you're never going to get =
anywhere. I f you're happy with that- that's fine.
!!!!!!!! What do others think?
Jo.
PS. This reminds me of a cover of the old Juke magazine in Aus when =
D&D came out. The headline was "Getting a Tan"which was apparently what =
Chris Murphy the INXS manager said the Oils were doing while INXS were =
hard at work. I still have the cover at home.
"On the fields and farms of England, on the airstrips of the desert =
and the jungle, in the hangars of the Persian Gulf and on the tarmacs of =
the southern islands, I have walked and talked with God."
