This world is big, and so awake, I stayed up late, to hear your voice. This light is here, to keep you warm, this song is here, to keep you strong.

I made a list, of things to say. All I want to say, all I really want to say is...

That almost makes me want to change my vote.

Almost.

[stip]

Fun fact. I'm pretty sure stipe plays drums on that song

[epilogue]

So, wait? Your "fun fact" is that you think you know something?

I think he meant fun maybe.

[Chris_H_2]

I think he meant fun speculation that he was either too busy or too lazy to verify at the time he posted

[epilogue]

Fun Speculation: Stip is insane.

A not so fun fact: Random ding dongs in high school (mid-late 1990s) used to give me crap about listening to R.E.M. because of the rumors about Stipe being gay.

Fun fact: I told them that I didn't care about that stuff, and included R.E.M. lyrics in my high school yearbook.

[stip]

fun fact check: It is peter buck, not michael stipe, playing the drums on untitled 11th song

Fun Fact: I logged onto the iTunes store to purchase the REM Unplugged, but to my dismay only two songs were available for preview and the thing isn't for sale yet.....so, I went to Best Buy's site and while I still can't purchase said music yet, they have a 30 sec clips of every song: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/unplugged-1 ... &lp=1&cp=1

there are high quality rips out there if you've never heard it. But I will definitely be purchasing this thing once it is available. They're amazing shows.

The Vh1 Storytellers is also excellent

Yup, one Unplugged is on a CD in my car right now, but I really want the best audio possible and heck, it's a chance to buy a "new" R.E.M. album....
