If the Burger king appears under the word elephant, then what can I say to make Michael Stipe (REM lead singer) appear?

In the MSNBC.com gossip section, there was this little tid bit regarding an affair between Morrissey and Michael Stipe of R.E.M. "Morrissey has hit out at reports that he had an affair with Michael Stipe, the lead singer of R.E.M. “That’s absolute [bleep], absolute [bleep] and I don’t know why people ever said that, do you?” Morrissey told the Times of London. When asked to address the question of whether he’s gay or straight, he replied, “It’s neither of those things. I’m simply myself, which is inexcusable to many people. I’m not trapped by anything.”"

Two of my favorite grunge vocalists,from my favorite grunge bands... whom would you prefer? BQ: REM or Pearl Jam BQ:favorite song by each of them? dub buk : i know their music is not grunge..but they are often classified as a grunge band..or rather an alternative band....its basically because they rose into eminence in the grunge era...

Again... Who was/is the most attractive? Who was/is the best musician?

Michael Stipe was born today on January 4, 1960 is an American singer who is the lead vocalist for the alternative rock band R.E.M. Stipe has become well-known for the "mumbling" style of his early career and for his complex, surreal lyrics, as well as his social and political activism. Stipe is in charge of the band's visual image, often selecting album artwork and directing many of the band's music videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA57Pafq_NU REM - Radio Free Europe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdHMJ39M0JU At My Most Beautiful http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GfOy5miUf4 The Golden Palominos ( featuring Michael) - Alive And Living Now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQN7A6Vl1H4 Drive ( this is a video that I spent two days with the band being hosed down in a swamp, it was magical) What's your favorite R>E>M> song or tune of tribute?
