batten down the hatches 

Nautical: secure a boat's hatch-tarpaulins, esp. when rough weather is expected.

Figurative: prepare for a difficult time or crisis, trouble is coming.
Oh ohh, batten down the hatches, here comes the tax collector.

Michael Hutchence 

Michael Hutchence was the original lead singer of the Australian rock band INXS, from 1977 to 1997. He was born in 1960.

In 1997 he was depressed and killed himself by hanging. One of the best rockstars lost to suicide!
He had a relationship with pop singer Kylie Minogue, but they broke up in 1991 and remained close friends.

R.I.P. Hutch.
INXS were most awesome with Michael Hutchence. Still awesome after he's gone.

hutchism 

An existentialist/rationalist/truist doctrine of philosophy developed in the South West of England in the early 21st century, which states that what is true and material can only be verified by what is seen and reported. An often used example is the Chadwickian Leg theorem, which simplifies the school of thought "fuit ergo est" (it was: therefore it is). Can also be expressed through the quasi-interrogative statement of affirmation - pointing out that which is patent and materially obvious without requiring confirmation by a third party.
Notable examples of this hutchism and the hutchist discourse include: "On the beers?" and "Saturday Football?".
