    Isn't Nightswimming about him coming out? So I've heard...and just a beautiful fucking song too.

    Nightswimming is just about drunk kids in Athens having fun getting naked and swimming in creeks late at night on weekends.

    :D

    I saw a "pop up video" but it was an SNL episode in which REM was the musical guest an Michael Stipe appeared in a skit. A bubble popped up and said he admitted to being bisexual. So this isn't exactly a secret...

    I am a man, I am advanced.....I am the first man to borrow Stone's leather pants!

    good point!

    Haha, it was a clever way to do it indeed. I was a little surprised that many were so shocked about him coming out, though.

    Its actually about Prozac and its popularity in the early 90's......my friend called her daily dosage her shiny happy pills.
    He also had nothing to come out of he's been quietly out for years.Stipe doesnt have an obsession with his sexuality.Its everyone else that does and why in 2008 does sexuality still grab headlines?
