first of all, i deeply deeply love r.e.m. i first saw them in 1982 at the late, lamented joe's star lounge, in ann arbor michigan and have every single album (plus a couple of imports and e.p.'s including a first press of "chronic town")...but michael stipe was and always will be a pretentious twit.
@einsteinrig Because he thinks about things in depth that you personally find uninteresting? Because he speaks his mind? Because he's true to himself? Again - if you don't like it, "there's the door".
My impression of him is different. I don't know what he was like in the beginning, but I find him to be pretty humble and honest.
My god Michael was a babe when he was young.I absolutely adore his southern drawl accent here.I cant image what happened to it.I wish i could get the full interview.I love his intensity in this.
Great video, but this isn't from Fabels or '85; they play "the one I love" at the end

"I think if I was a movie, I might be koyaanisqatsi, which I haven't seen, yet." XD Oh, to be young, an ideologue, and more than a bit of a pill.

@einsteinrig c'mon, maybe he is a little bit pretentious, but not necessarily a twit.

You can recognize the year from his hair. It's 1987.

@Pedro8190 he looked kinda fat though, and he said he got fat only in 1985

This can't be from 1985.
You can hear "The One I Love" at the end!
