According to the trusty C4 teletext service (pg 161) Michael Stipe admitted he stole Morrissey's stage moves. During his warm up date for Glastonbury at the Brixton Academy he told the crowd 'I saw Morrissey pass his hands over the crowd and thought, Ooh that looks good, Im stealing that and I did' He later went onto change the lyrics in 'Man on the Moon' from 'Mr Fred Blassie' to 'Mr Steven Morrissey' Apparently he went and watched the Smiths on the Meat Is Murder tour!! Hopefully he'll say something about the great man at Glastonbury as I'm going!! --- Loves Young Dream also writes: Michael Stipe has revealed that he stole his moves from Moz (As if we didn't know!) REM pay tribute to London at Brixton Academy show - NME.com, June 25, 2003. Excerpt: REM paid tribute to LONDON at their BRIXTON ACADEMY show last night (June 24) by playing a host of the songs from 'FABLES OF THE RECONSTRUCTION', the 1985 album they recorded in the UK capital. The band, playing the first of two sold-out nights, performed the first four songs on the album in order. Frontman Michael Stipe told the ecstatic crowd: "We recorded this album in London, so it's very special to be playing these songs here tonight." Stipe, who was in exuberant form, also told the crowd he had seen The Smiths play the 4,500 venue in 1985 and had stolen his stage moves from Morrissey after seeing him onstage that night.

I know this has nothing to do with whatever relationship Stipe & Moz share, just thought some of you young whippersnappers would be interested in this pointless trivia.

Hate Stipe (Score:1)
- whiny and self-obsessed
- tries as much as possible to influence local politics in his hometown of Athens, GA, with his decidedly liberal utopian ideas, despite the fact that he has no conceivable idea about the requirements and politics of managing a city
- fawns over Morrissey instead of trying to be equal or superior to Morrissey
- His songs (and i mean this) SUCK!
- is a friend of Courtney Love (if you can dig Courtney, I can't dig you)
- claims the Beatles were not really an "important" band and that they have had no influence on REM's music. (those of you who listen to REM know that such a claim is preposterous; almost ALL of REM's melodic structures were preceded decades earlier by the Beatles)
- other reasons ad nauseum
Just wanted to set the record straight.
