chance that any of them are actually 100% correct... ] A: about a yr. ago this guy sent a bunch of online stuff to the
office c/o me and i looked thru the lyrics and they were pretty right. the earlier stuff
sonethimes doesnt have words so theyre as close as anything. there are some mistakes but

Stipey is a fake! Koudelka is having a big laugh at this board's expense. Review the 2
original posts by S and K---the careless typing looks mighty familiar....then check out
the member profiles (before K changes them)....the whole tone of Stipey's posts are not
characteristic of Michael, Stipey's trying WAY too hard to convince. Michael would be
playing this much more low-key. Btw, wrong answer on the "River" question. No
one is asking to do your astrochart. p.s. Michael IS online.] -->Subj: stipey is a flakere:, Date: 94-07-19 22:40:47 EDT,

I recently acquired a copy of the book "Life & How To Live It" . It's a hard

know this may sound stupid, but something it seems like a lot of people would like is to
play in smaller venues (sorry if not the right word) like clubs and smaller concert halls
etc. for that more intimate feeling. not that you want your fans too intimate and whatnot,
but have you considered doing such? i may be biased but there's a nice little club in new
haven ct called toad's place and lots of little joints all over that would love to host
you...not that you should be confined to all small spots.] -->Subj: i remember opening for the, Date: 94-07-20 20:50:06

From: Imb1114 Any possibility of a future project with sister Lynda? I've thought her
voice remarkable through Oh, OK, Hetch Hetchy, and on the last track of Vic Chesnutt's
Little. Also heard some early audience recordings with you, Lynda, and Cyndy (Wait!). A
collaboration would be nothing short of sensational Also, do you have any idea if Reebok
has set a date yet for this year's Human Rights Awards? There's little enough in the press
about it.] Q:[Subj: Iguana/Questions for Stipey, Date: 94-07-20 09:37:20
EDT, From: WilThril Stipey, a couple of people on the Internet had questions: Calbear
asked: >>>Why are there SO many singles and why are they so expensive and the
good ones imported, if they're really concerned about the environment. (Fossil fuels
burning from importing, wasted plastic from so many unnecessary singles.) Also, what's
your fave R.E.M. song ("Get Up," "Fall On Me," or ????) and nonR.E.M.
song? Album and non-R.e.M. album?<<< He also wanted me to ask about the two
"countdowns": the one with numbers on each album (which would predict Monster to
be "1") and the proposed breakup on Dec. 31, 1999 at 11:59 p.m.] A:> pb says the dec31,1999 was a smartass answer to a
journatlist once, and its become this big joke.i reckon we will last longer. the countdown
is a silly coincidence. i swear it.pb sez were going into neg.#;s next,so there. i did put
the #7 on each record for a while but startged getting strange mail in volumes about it
and so we quit.no reason for 7, it was just a cool typo thing[like typefaces on fables] Q:[Subj: Re:they airbrushed my faith, Date: 94-07-20 09:40:04

Oddfellows that "These Days" has garnered so much attention of late. The version
performed here in Seattle in 1989 was pretty amazing, but JMS intro (". . .but which
was discovered here, in your town. . ." etc). Anyway, could you still sing that song
with the conviction with which it was written and performed? (Springsteen, for example,
should never play "Born to Run" again .) Or has your outlook changed too much?

have a question about Losing My Religion. When you were on Unplugged you said, "This
is about YOU." I interpreted that to mean that you had written the song about hero
worship by your fans. This especially hit home for me because I have a friend who is a big
fan and used to dress like you, get his hair cut like you, etc. Were you aiming LMR at
people like that or do I have an overactive imagination.] A:>when we did unplugged, i guess pop.notion was that lmr was
autobiographical.in fact, i was just trying to top everybreathe you take for obsessive
love song.hitting a common chord is a writers goal.i thought id done a great job w
lmr,blah blah blah >see you all soon.later.xoxo m. -->Subj: botman, Date: 94-07-22 00:37:36 EDT, From: Stipey im
