I would go up there but I don't want to give Rolling Stone Magazine the hit. Also, I don't know anything about Bette Midler, Randy Newman, R.E.M., Counting Crows or The Travelling Wilburys.
that's good. otherwise you'd get punched in the back
Thank you for playing "One of These Things Does Not Belong." You selected R.E.M. R.E.M. does not suck and does not belong with those other musicians.
On a related note, I once saw that Counting Crows dude with the stupid pineapple hair at the Michael Cerveris production of Sweeney Todd. Fortunately, he did not sit in front of me. Also, he was not very smart and stood in the mile long drink line during intermission. I went to the mezzanine bar, where there were three people waiting in line, had a Manhattan, went back downstairs and saw Crazy Hair Dude still had 10 people in front of him. S-M-R-T, SMART.
