    The artwork / colour of that book reminds me of the pop art artwork of REM's Monster album. I urge anyone who has a car to take 2 CDs with you - Out of Time and New Adventures in Hi-Fi. These 2 albums are actually just as - or more - 'country' as Automatic for the People sometimes get labelled. They are Americana at its best. REM were The Doors meets punk meets surf rock meets glam rock meets industrial rock meets pastoral meets folk meets funk meets blues meets soul (eg Tongue) and so on. Many songs are like mini films in their own right. Much of the first half of Out of Time , to me, is like a companion piece to that of Green. A quirky, upbeat opening song, a soaring second song, a pensive and mysterious third song, a very upbeat pop fourth song, a fifth song that suggests games in its title 'Endgame', 'World Leader Pretend' respectively. REM deserved every award going, particularly for Lifes Rich Pageant through to Up.

      suckittomcat that's not entirely true, although he's always been somewhat sexually ambiguous, he is currently I believe in a relationship with a man. Just as easily been a woman if he had fallen in love with her. Either way, what does it matter?

      It matters. I'm queer. It matters. You're right, though. Ambiguity is "safer" just like when Elton John first came out as the "safer" bisexual. But Stipe has said his sexuality is fluid (like mine) so I stand corrected. Gay just seemed easier to say (lazy). :-)

    Fun relevant fact: Thom Yorke (member of the band: Radiohead) was inspired by Michael to write 'How to Disappear Completely', when Michael was giving Thom advice on dealing with overwhelming stress. Or at least that's what I understand happened. Also, Yorke was asked what single moment he would most like to be remembered for. His response was 'How To Disappear Completely'. So, thanks Michael.
