MusicMystique | MEMORY FROM 1990

ACCIDENT

LOCATION: SPECTRUM, PHILADELPHIA

YEAR: 1990

TAGS: inxs, accident, cars

PUBLISHED: February 12, 2008

Ok, to kick this off I want to say I am not quite sure of the year this happend.  I believe its '90.  My cousin had called me up and asked me to go see this band in concert.  I remember having thier poster on my wall and just thinkin that Michael Hutchence had a voice of a god!  NO JOKE and of course YES he was very good looking. 

Anyway, cousins called to ask me to the show but we needed a ride there.  Luckily, I had an awesome brother who had the same musical taste as me and said he would have no problem in taking us.  So there we are on the way to pick up my cousins.. SMOOOOOOTH sailing down the expressway, no traffic, picked them up and we were all rolling.  It was great could not have been more perfect.  We get to the Spectrum and we are being instructed by a traffic cop to park, as we are crossing thru the street some idiot in what seemed like a BOAT of a car hit us almost head on. 

My brother had a LASER it was white and somewhat small.  We are blessed he hit us head on because our car was crushed.  None of us were injured THANK GOD but my brothers poor car had to be towed away.  It was totalled completely.  If I could post pictures of the car you would cringe.  I actually felt bad for the car.. haha That is how sad the thing looked... Not to mention at the time it was a hot car and my brother loved it. :(

On a happy note we made it in time for the show.  We had second to the last row nose bleed seats but I will say we were not dissappointed.  Despite being a little shaken from the accident the show was great and we all had a fantastic time.  Needless to say everytime I hear or think of INXS I think of that show.

And for anyone who paid that much attention to this.  My uncle picked us up and got us all home safely and my brother ended up buying a toyota camry.  (nice but wasnt as nice as the laser.. at least not at the time.. haha)

DRIVE SAFELY :)
