We went to see an REM tribute band and stood RIGHT at the front. They gave us a playlist and we will see them again in June. It was awesome. (Except I may have drunk too much cider because I thought I was 18 and I’m actually 48. There’s a reason adults drink wine or spirits.) #StipeBand #REM #TeacherHolidays

The prompt is Horrible
R.E.M. “Man on the Moon” from Automatic For The People, 1992

Lyrics:
Moses went walking with the staff of wood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Newton got beaned by the apple good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Charles Darwin had the gall to ask
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

On Automatic for the People, #REM continued with acoustic artistry rivaling that achieved on their masterpiece “Losing My Religion" paired with offbeat subject matter - here, the late actor/performance artist #AndyKaufman, embracing the question raised by Kaufman's performance, and his very life: What is real?

Throughout the song #MichaelStipe sketches vignettes from Kaufman’s professional life, but in the lyrics quoted above, Stipe invokes biblical and historical scientific figures; is he elevating Kaufman to their stature, or just demonstrating his signature non sequitur technique?
