Happy 66th heavenly birthday to Michael Hutchence, singer of INXS.
Here’s Michael with INXS performing "Never Tear Us Apart" live at Wembley Stadium in 1991.
They sound exactly the same as on the album. Amazing.
After his father had passed away, son Shane Hawkins played 'My Hero' with Foo Fighters at his father's tribute concert.
It's impossible not to get emotional.
Imagine you're in 1979 and you see a very young band called AC/DC.
This is just another time of those numerous times we all say 'what if Bon was alive?'
What a freaking legend!

One of them is the man who changed the way of guitar playing forever, Mark Knopfler.
The other one is one of the best female figures in music and guitar history, Bonnie Raitt.
They took the stage for one special song and the rest was history.

Origins of Back in Black,
Known for its opening guitar riff, the song was AC/DC's tribute to their former singer Bon Scott. His replacement Brian Johnson recalled to Mojo magazine in 2009 that when the band asked him to write a lyric for this song, "they said, 'it can't be morbid – it has to be for Bon and it has to be a celebration.'"
He added: "I thought, 'Well no pressure there, then' (laughs). I just wrote what came into my head, which at the time seemed like mumbo jumbo. 'Nine lives. Cats eyes. Abusing every one of them and running wild.' The boys got it though. They saw Bon's life in that lyric."
With Johnson on board, founding members Angus Young and Malcolm Young wrote “Back in Black” in honor of Scott. Johnson is also credited as a songwriter on the track.
'I remember Back in Black was particularly difficult because the boys were saying, ‘Listen we want this song in memory of Bon, but we don’t want it to be sad or maudlin, we want it to be a good thing, positive song', Johnson said in an interview with NME.
“So it was pretty tough, but I think we managed it pretty good. It’s kinda slow but it’s got a great riff. It was a toughy, that one.”

TYRANNICAL $80 MILLION DOLLAR OSTRICH FARM FINE THREAT
The CFIA threatened the Ostrich farm with a $200,000 fine for EACH bird they dare to test. They have about 400 birds, so that means a roughly EIGHTY MILLION DOLLAR FINE if they test their animals and prove they're healthy.
So they haven't been able to test them.
The CFIA refuses to test the birds. The ostriches have been healthy for more than 200 days by all accounts and extensive video evidence of frolicking ostriches.
As far as I can gather, they haven't been "tested" since December.
Total sham.
Today marks 24 years since the devastating 9/11 attacks on the United States of America.
We pay tribute to the fallen 343 brave Firefighters who sadly lost their lives in the line of duty.
24 years later, we honor the 343 FDNY firefighters lost on 9/11 and the 402 more taken by post-9/11 illnesses. Their courage united a city and a nation.
We will never forget.
