He used to buy weed from a hipster NZ guy called Roaul, who lived downstairs from me in in a small block of flats in Elsternwick in the early 1980's when they were in town. Sometimes with some other guys in the band. Quite a nice guy and sort of shy. He bought a Citroen DS Safari (wagon) off Roaul for way too much money and drove it back to Sydney. One time he had a tape of two songs they were tossing up for their new single. My friend and I were sax players mostly interested in jazz and he'd heard us practicing upstairs while he is smoking dope with Roaul. So he plays both these songs for me and asks me what I think and I tell him the second one is defiantly a hit - which was "Original Sin" and he got pretty excited and says "So you really like it ?" or something and I say no man, I don't like it at all, it's not the kind of music I am into but I can see it's gonna be a hit. He kind of freaked, couldn't understand why I didn't love it. So a bit of a w***er, as all rock stars are I suppose.Michael Hutchence
