Not being sarcastic here: that must suck. Love this band and this song. REM may not get as airplay as it used to, but they're hard to miss. It's a plus for me when I hear one of their songs; can't imagine what it would be like to grit your teeth every time you heard them. |

I might have my message board lingo wrong, but I'm pretty sure a "troll" is someone who posts provocative or instigating comments for no other purpose than to antagonize others into posting rebuttals. So it seems that, in reality, you are the "fu*king troll". Thank you for pointing that out... hope you are having a great day!

Yes. That one really gets your attention. I was in an intro art class with Michael Stipe, so we are roughly contemporary. Am impressed that anyone that old can rock like that. Amazingly fresh.
