happy bday m. stipe

okay - i found this and it was pretty cool. with it i celebrate unrepentantly my love of r.e.m. some of the best music ever even if the lyrics are often unintelligible and dont make sense. michael stipes voice isnt all that good but its beautiful. the music lasts and isnt crap after a few listens. every album isnt good but each and every one has some greatness to it, which is why i keep buying. nothing so sad to me as when i have to let a band go. so its Michael Stipe's birthday and here are some videos of duets and other performances. my faves are the ones with bruce springsteen of course.
