Interesting article. Stipe always did have a very subversive, droll sense of humor in interviews, as well. Also, if you’ve never seen it, you might want to check out Bob Goldthwait’s cult film Shakes the Clown — a dark, satirical comedy skewering the entertainment industry — that was a favorite of both Stipe and Kurt Cobain, and was referenced in the title of R.E.M.’s “Binky the Doormat.” But I enjoyed the article. Thank you.
