Good read about Michael Stipe formerly of REM 'When earlier this year the Guardian asked Stipe whom he would most like to apologise to, he said: “Anyone I slept with before the age of 27, because I was a selfish, cold-ass bitch.” Would he care to explain? “Well, it was me trying to be funny,” he says now, “but I was an incredibly insecure and selfish young man. I don’t think I was pleasant to be around, and I don’t think I was a very good lay. It took me the better part of my 20s to recognise that insecurities are actually a superpower, and something that I can utilise to allow my better work to come out of me. I don’t have to be snipy and cynical. Cold-ass bitch was a coat that I put on to protect myself and I realised, I can take that coat off now.” It sounds as if he was just scared. “I’m a very fearful person. Truthfully, a lot of what this book is about is the people who represent fearlessness to me.” When it comes to fearlessness, Stipe has always taken a lot of strength from his friendship with Patti Smith, whom he admired when he was young and is still delighted to be friends with. He shows me a mask of William Blake with writing scrawled over it; a gift from Smith. “She’s the one who said to me, ‘At some point, you need to walk unafraid’,” he says. “And I turned that phrase into a song about exactly that (REM’s Walk Unafraid). But that fierce fearlessness is something that I still look to. To show me the way, to pull me away from the parts of myself that allow me to be absorbed into fear. And to run towards the thing that scares you the most. As a creative person, that’s maybe a superpower.”' amp.theguardian.com/music/2021/apr/24/michael-stipe-the-male-idea-of-power-is-so-dumb

Heading to my buddy's daughters 1 year bday party for a bit. afternoon space to either the dead show at a brewery or a nice intense hike/run, not sure. Leaning toward a hike run since I didnt yesterday and slept in this morning, also I will likely get bored at the dead thing. I slept so much the last couple nights and feel pretty great!

I love me some R.E.M. Athens, GA in the 80s must have kicked ass. Pylon, REM, WSP and the B52s all in the same city?
Wild.

The moon is full tonight, so expect one more night of restlessness Probably explains why I have my bike already loaded into the van and I started nibbling on the space an hour ago. Woke up ready to go today.
