The Library Lives in "Heaven Sent" by INXS
June 12, 2008

I'm so old, I remember when Michael Hutchence was alive and sexy. It was the summer of 1992, and I'd just returned from journalism nerd camp at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. Slurping a Cherry Coke slush from Karmel Korn, I popped into Disc Jockey, the then leading music store at my local mall. Promo posters for INXS's latest album Welcome to Wherever You Are assaulted me from all sides. Thinking I needed a new music infusion, I bought the CD and quickly fell in love with track two, "Heaven Sent," not least of all for its library references:

Tuesday she works
In the library uptown
Some useful knowledge
Can always be found
Don't burn the library
'Til you've read all the books
Sometimes in life
You get a second look

What a terrible lyric! And what were we thinking with all the water in the video? We might as well be in the pool. Electric shocks, anyone? Did you know Michael lost his sense of smell?
