STEVE FORBERT - REALLY, MR. 'MEET ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, LET ME HEAR YOU SAY EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT' WAS ON YOUR FIRST ALBUM?YEP.
BUT WAIT, NO FUCKING WAY THE GODDAMN REAL ASS PIMP HOMIE, MICHAEL STIPE, THE FIRST 80s INDIE BREAKTHROUGH BAND 'IN A BIG WAY - NOW KINDA FORGOTTEN' WAS ON YOUR RECORD! I WOULD HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT. I AM A MEMBER OF THE R.E.M. FAN CLUB!
SORRY, BUT YEP, AGAIN. YOU SEE IF I WENT AROUND TELLING EVERYBODY THAT PEOPLE LIKE MICHAEL STIPE AND STEVE FORBERT HAD DONE GUEST SPOTS ON MY DEBUT ALBUM IN 1985, I WOULD NEVER HEAR THE END OF ENQUIRIES AND SOLO CAREER OFFERS, SO I HAVE DOWNPLAYED THIS, AS PAINFUL AS IT'S BEEN TO DENY MY PAST, TO PROTECT ME AND MY LOVED ONES AND FRIENDS FROM THE PACK-LIKE TACTICS AND MEDIA/PAPPARAZI COVERAGE THAT THIS WOULD INCUR; HOWEVER, I THINK IT'S TIME , THAT I STARTED TO SLOWLY TRICKLE OUT LITTLE 'MESSAGES IN A BLOGGLE' s, if only to help struggling artists in today's vastly different marketplace, and provide educational resources through dissemination.
As you know, 50 (michael jackson) to 60 (jim carroll) years is the longest that any former rock star or music industry executive can hope to live (Jim Carroll was of course a hardcore junkie, and Michael Jackson...oh, right, they were both junkies), and as that places me prematurely, in my golden years, it also brings with it prematurely wisdom, and mad-sexy, distinguished pussy-magnetivity and other positive benefits, only growing old overnight can achieve--sort of like magic Marcello Mastrianni-dust blown on you by an airboat propellor after emerging from a shower.
so, to answer your question: yes, Michael Stipe did perform his first and only official 'duet' on OFB's first album.for more questions and answers about OUR Favorite BAND: GO TO THE COMMENT SECTION OF ANY OFB-RELATED POST
