beli said:Bit of both. I work in safety and health/ workers compensation claims etc. I could not count how many depressed people I have met/known.
Different people handle adversity differently. Some people can bounce right back up again and keep going. Others are not able to do so.
Depression is a dark dark place. Logical thoughts are few. All sorts of irrational ideas become options.
How a person deals with life is neither a reason for praise nor condemnation. In my opinon, judging another human being is only permittable in extreme cases eg Hitler.
On some of the Crowded House/Split Enz forums there are calls for people to make donations to mental health organisations. If anything is to come out of this tragedy perhaps a greater community understanding of the nature of depression is it.
peace.

I know people don't always think rationally, but it irks me (probably putting it mildly) to see kids...young kids....left without parents because of suicide.

As for the original question, I don't know if there is a link between Crowded House and U2 whereas Michael Hutchence and Bono were mates.

To worry like you do
I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now... my oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Bono said that he and Hutchence, a close friend, had discussed suicide before he was found hanged in a Sydney hotel room in 1997: 'We discussed suicide a few times and we both agreed how pathetic it was.' He said they had 'kinda promised each other' neither would ever kill themselves.
'Stuck In A Moment... is an argument,' he said. 'It's a row between mates. You're kinda trying to wake them up out of an idea. In my case it's a row I didn't have while he was alive. I feel the biggest respect I could pay to him was not to write some stupid soppy fucking song, so I wrote a really tough, nasty little number... slapping him around the head. And I'm sorry, but that's how it came out of me.'
