I found this article today and while it's mainly about JD, there's some good stuff about Marty at the end.

Here's an excerpt:

I'm personally very excited to see Marty (Casey) move on because I think he's a dynamic performer."

A consistently strong contestant with a great capacity for absorbing and incorporating INXS' feedback into his performances, Casey entered the finale a fan favorite who had only been in the Bottom Three once. He also distinguished himself by being one of the most gracious runner-ups in reality show history -- smiling broadly and enthusiastically enjoying the mini-concert the new INXS threw immediately after the finale.

"I just wanted J.D.'s moment to not be anything about my sadness," Casey says.

"I didn't want to be down. It was a great moment in his life, so I wanted to respect that moment and give him his spot in the sun."

Thanks for the excerpt. One of many many reasons we love Marty so much--such poise, dignity and grace. What an example!!!

That's right, Marty was always controlled in his reactions and deliberate about his answers. For a rocker, he's one thoughtful guy. I'd don't think many people in his situation could have contained himself as well as he did.

Marty is such a class act!

Now INXS-05 looks like a bunch of fathers with one their sons fronting them. I'll buy the tickets though, just to support Marty ... anything to see and hear him again!

I want my Marty (sung to the melody of "I want my MTV") ;D

Missing my Marty ...Need a fix for my addiction.
