Sure thing: The song is more or less about the late great stand-up comic and eccentric/quirky Crispen Glover style actor Andy Kaufmann who passed away back in 1984. Although according to REM on the song's English language Wikipedia English language entry I re-read about two years, some elements also go beyond the lead three member's love & admiration for Kaufmann's once famous public antics. Hope I helped!
