          Michael Stipe can be difficult to understand.  There are reports
     that he no longer recalls the original words to some of his songs and
     must sing "sound-alike" lyrics in concert.  This is probably intentional,
     for some artistic reason or another; and it probably happens all the
     time (Phish reportedly follows the traffic in rec.music.phish and 
     modifies what they sing to play head games with their audience.)  So,
     it's not the end of the world as we know it.  Post your misheard lyrics
     here in alt.music.lyrics.  And relax.
