In my last failed attempt at keeping a blog, I had a recurring "cool quote" series that I've decided to revive with this fun little diddy from Michael Stipe.
"I'm not one to sit and spin, cause living well's the best revenge" - R.E.M.
"Automatic for the People" is one of my all time favorite albums. At the very least, it's in the top 5. In my younger, more impressionable days it spoke to me, like comfort food to the soul. To this day it manages to do the same thing, like a home cooked meal from mom, or deep dish pepperoni pizza from Subway (mmmmmmmm, Subway pizzaaaaaaa).
Anyway, it's interesting that decades later, the band can still hit me with a new and poignant quote. And yes, I know this quote is itself quoting a dead Welsh poet, but who the fuck is George Herbert to me?
Sometimes it isn't the words that matter as much as the device that delivers them.
And sometimes it's probably a combination of both...
