In the latest video from The Pete Holmes Show (he comes on after Conan — I love him) Jerry Garcia’s daughter, Trixie, breaks down the night she brought one of rap’s biggest names home to meet her dad.

Michael Hutchence, lead vocalist of INXS would have celebrated his Birthday today, having been born on January 22, 1962, if he hadn’t died on November 22, 1997 of asphyxiation due to hanging. Adding to the tragedy of his passing, his girlfriend, Paula Yates, died of a heroin overdose in September of 2000. Their daughter, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, is now being raised by Yates’ ex-husband, Bob Geldof. Rest in Peace, Michael and Paula.
