Truth and Fiction

May 25, 2001

The fabricated life of Mr. Stipe.

Apparently this fully annotated profile of R.E.M.’s lead singer is half-truth and half-fiction. After reading the article, it’s quite apparent what’s real and what isn’t, but I find it fairly skeevy that anyone would actually do this. I do have to wonder if Stipey approved any of this. It really wouldn’t be beyond him, considering his penchant for ambiguity. This is a man with a big question mark tattooed on his hand, after all.
