For all that is good and holy, and as a child of the 80's, I am begging and pleading that all friends and readers of TrashyPantz boycott the new CBS show Rock Star INXS.
The show is a contest to find the new lead singer of INXS, the original lead singer, Michael Hutchence, killed himself in November 1997.
Here is how CBS explains it:
"Rock Star:INXS" is a show about a lot of things. It's about a group of young musical artists trying to fulfill their dreams. It's about the joy of performance and the difficulty of competition. But most of all, it's about finding the next incarnation of one of the greatest rock bands in history."
BAH! GARBAGE, I SAY!
I mean, you can't just replace Michael Hutchence! INXS last played at the opening of the Sydney's Olympic Stadium and used singer Terence Trent D'Arby for that appearance (You can't replace Michael Hutchence with a one hit wonder who takes 10 hours to have his hair briaded by 4 women, and expect to do justice to Suicide Blonde. It's just not possible).
The irony in all this, is one of the contestants names is... DANA. This makes me extremely angry, by the way. So once again, for all that is good in the world, and for all the reasons I still cling to this 80's band...please, PLEASE watch something else, anything else, when this show starts this summer. THANKS!!!!
