yeah, they're nowhere close to my favorites, but i do like them. much better than U2 (who, imo, suck more balls than your average pornstar)
REM is good but far from great, U2 is a fucking travesty, and it never occurred to me to question the sexuality of any members of either band. not even bono, who screams queerishness now that i think about it.
haha funny you say his name. I watched an episode of pete and pete online the other day with him as an icecream man.
