LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 4, 2019…HAPPY 59TH BIRTHDAY TO MICHAEL STIPE OF R.E.M. NOT ONLY WAS STIPE THE LEAD SINGER OF R.E.M , HE WAS ALSO IN CHARGE OF THE GROUP’S VISUAL ASPECTS, AS HE DESIGNED ALL OF THE ARTWORK FOR THE ALBUMS AND DIRECTED THE BANDS VIDEOS. STIPE ALSO OWNS 2 FILM PRODUCTION STUDIOS. IN 1999 HE PRODUCED THE MOVIE ‘BEING JOHN MALKOVICH’. HE IS OFTEN MISTAKEN FOR JOHN MALKOVICH. ONE THING THAT I FOUND INTERESTING ABOUT THE BAND R.E.M IS THEY ALL TAKE EQUAL CREDIT AND SHARE SONG ROYALTIES EQUALLY, REGARDLESS OF WHO ACTUALLY WROTE THE SONG.
HERE’S A GREAT LIVE VERSION OF R.E.M. PERFORMING ‘THE ONE I LOVE’
