I am a FOOL

How did I NOT know Michael Stipe is gay? Whenever somebody would say he was, I was to quick to defend that he was not. I mean, he defintely has gay face. How could I be so stoopid?

 

I knew Michael Stipe was gay before Michael Stipe knew he was gay.

 

I still have a crush on him.

 

Who the hell is Michael Stipe?

 

Lead singer of REM.

 

i didnt know George was really Gay I thought it was a pop joke..

 

Well, that's depressing. Losing his religion for dudes.

 

how could you know who he was yet not know he was gay?

how is saying he's not gay defending him?

 

Like I said, I am a fool.

And I said I defended the fact that he wasn't gay, not that I am personally defending him. Mmk?

 

I thought he was bi but whatever, he looks gay.

 

From the NZ Herald:

No. It helps aging old men whose careers went extinct 10 years ago. It helps get them back in the spotlight for a moment.

I have only one question: Who cares???

 

i have no idea when stipe came out officially.....

but i do know, my brother (now 27) is gay, and had a serious REM thing going on when we were real young.....well, i was really young, he was an adolescent (still really young, but less so than i)

i dont know how coming out may have helped or hurt stipe's career, but i do know that, right or wrong, my brother found inspiration in the song "everybody hurts" to the point that a homosexual adolescent brought up in a christian family was steered away from the suicidal tendencies he had........

there are a lot of differences between my brother and myself, and i can't say i truly understand him or that we've got a great relationship, but he is my brother and i love him. if stipe's music had a message that helped to keep my brother alive, then as far as i'm concerned thats just fucking great.

i don't know much about stipe, dont know when he came out or whatever. i dont know or care if it helped his career....

but i think the music is pretty good, and while its not my favorite for stylistic reasons, i can't find anything bad about it. idk. whatever.

 

my ex really loved REM. 'nuff said.

 

I saw them live this year because I got a free ticket.

I don't really like them much but I'm sure a fan would be satisfied with their live performance.

One of those huge bands that actually have like 3 good songs. Like U2.

 

I really love Stipe. Nuff said.

 

3 good songs? Are you insane in the membrane? Stipe is a musical genius. All of his songs are good songs.

 

Most of them sound the same.

 

Most?

 

Shut it!

 

Most.
