PS:REMHQにあった、ブライト・アイズがハゲちんについてこんなコメントを。ベタ誉めだな。本当か? そんなんか? マジか? なんか派閥あるんか? 実はスタイプ会とか業界にあって、締め上げられてるんか? 邪推するで〜〜〜。 TBT: How were the shows opening for R.E.M.?
Conor Oberst: Amazing. Those guys are so generous and thoughtful and encouraging. Really great people. All of them. Michael Stipe, especially is just a great friend of mine, and a really sweet person through and through, and very intelligent. I admire him a lot musically and for how he conducts his business--conducts himself with the causes he champions and the issues he chooses. He's a good role model for people in that middle-age of a rock career...I feel like he's still kind of creating his canon of music and his legacy as a musician is still being formed.
