One more thing - I sorta like J.D. and have been an INXS fan since Listen Like Thieves - so there, put that in your pipe and smoke it Shirley. Michael has passed and is currently unavailable, at least until the rest of INXS join him, so why not let JD have a shot?

Shirley must be planning a Garbage comeback to make that kind of statement. Look, if Mark Burnett came to you and said, "hey i'd like to put your band on T.V. all summer in search of new singer", who would turn that down?
