The Dream is over - Paul Hester found Dead in Park last night

[FORD]

I've heard an INXS rehearsal from a TV studio the night before Hutchence died. If that guy was suicidally depressed, then he was a damn good liar. He did sound excited and optimistic, and was saying something about jamming with Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. Now there's a tape I'd like to hear.

Still though, the guy's gotta be embarrassed walking around Heaven (or Hell) with everybody knowing he died from jacking off.

Hutchence was blasted the night we saw the Elegantly Wasted tour, a few months before he died.

Crowded House was an awesome band!!

RIP Paul....

Split Endz and Crowded House were excellent examples of good POP music.

RIP

Its basically a method where you strangle yourself, and
release the strangle when you cum. Meant to give you
a bigger rush when you orgasm..

Dont try this at home kiddies, just ask Michael Hutchence !

or just don't try it alone

I can't believe Hester has gone out this way.
He was always the clown having a good time,I guess nobody really knows what's going on behind the scenes though.
I will never forget when Crowded House played outside the Opera House for the last time and when they played Don't Dream It's Over he had tears streaming down his face.I still have that show on tape and often give it a play.
Crowded House had so many great songs,my favourites would have to be Fall At Your Feet,Mean To Me,Don't Dream It's Over and Private Universe.
RIP Paul Hester

There was going to be a night at one of our pubs down here which was going to be a tribute night to Paul which was open to the public to pay their respects.I just heard on the radio that it has now been cancelled due to the fact that too many people were going to turn up.

Hester was playing with the Finn brothers recently and hanging out Seymour. The Crowded House reunion was shaping up...
That aint gonna happen now.

"Don't Dream It's Over" is a great tune. Bomber told me about this last week. Fuckin' sucks. Shit, I never knew that about Hutchence. INXS were great. I always thought it was odd that he just hanged himself.

Paul Hester was an integral part of Crowded House's sound and added greatly to Neil Finn's terrific songs.

A very, very sad thing to have happened.

R.I.P. Paul. We miss you.

That week when Paul died, I was drunk at a Karaoke bar and some guy began singing "Don't Dream It's Over" and I pretty much had tears in my eyes.

R.I.P Paul, you lovable larrakin.
