I still don't know what to do when my penis gets hard. I discovered it while taking a shower, two or three years ago. I went to the doctor and I explained my situation. He gave me a funny look.

I hate it when my penis gets hard.

bono, it is a good thing that REM has already broken up. otherwise, michael stipe may have written a song about that.

shiny happy penis?

Smarmy, snotty, wimpy. They talked down to their fans, and their fans didn't seem to realize it.

High point: the drummer gets busted for drunken air rage. And this announcement.

Low point: so hard to choose, but that Shiny, Happy People - a parody so misguided that it backfired on them and and made them the world's biggest sniveling twits since Lord Fauntleroy - was enough to gag a maggot.

_____________________________

I "did" notice, now that you mention it that Stipe kina passed off his fans when asked a question about them. He almost seemed kind of discarding of the notion of the interviewer asking about them. Odd..

I know they were a bit wimpy, and overrated. Sure they were not my 100% cup of tea either (although I liked a hand full of their songs). What I will say is they worked hard and had a lot of output. Pretty darn productive band. As well, they stayed in there for many years and always had output and performed live. This is why I give them some deserved credit. I can't see me running out to buy an REM album (although I enjoyed Monster) but I've heard worse bands. In fact, I will take REM over Dave Mathews any day...
