A blast furnace Georgia summer, feeling now as several lifetimes ago. Driving. I had a destination, but lacked direction. Soaking in the pure, gritty beauty of rural Georgia- rolling hills, farms, power lines with floaters, dilapidated sharecropper houses, rolls of hay laid in fields, walls of stone old as time itself which somehow seemed to pass over the whole of the world here. It was hot. Holy shit it was hot. The heat bore down oppressively. Wendel gee popped up on my mixtape. And suddenly, there I was, driving through philomath. Not even a dot on the map. But there it was. I can not tell you how I got there, all I know is that I can’t get there from here. It’s a place one must be lost in order to find.
I was just watching a video about how vacuous hair metal was and how grunge killed it by offering meaningful topics. The truth is, REM and U2 were doing it long before grunge came along. Hair metal basically did it to themselves by becoming caricatures, by buying into their own product.
I love the early REM because you cant understand what Stipe is saying. Someone told me who loves REM that when they performed live at the time Stipe would have the lyrics at the base of the mic and he would occasionally look down when he forgot the words. Is that true?
