  • Donna from Columbus, OhI was upset when Marty Casey was the runner up for the lead singer in INXS but.... I came to realize Marty was the best choice for INXS but in reality Marty was too good to be their lead singer. Marty came out ahead because his band opened for INXS and we know which band was better. Yep, the Lovehammers. How much have we heard about the INXS comeback? Maybe it's true you can never go back.... Michael was INXS and when he died they did too.
