Description: Tibetan Freedom Concert 1998 In 1998, Thom Yorke of Radiohead performed with R.E.M. at the Tibetan Freedom Concert in Washington, D.C. He sang Patti Smith's part of "E-Bow the Letter," a duet with lead singer Michael Stipe. Stipe also joined Radiohead for a song, singing Yorke's part on "Lucky." Watch "Lucky" here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DS0Y1mGiSUg E-Bow the Letter: [from New Adventures in Hi-Fi] Look up. What do you see? All of you and all of me, fluorescent and starry, some of them they surprise busride. I went to write this, 4:00 a.m. this letter. fields of poppies, little pearls. All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed, each and every one a little scary. I said your name. I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars, hash bars, cherry mash and tin foil tiaras. Dreaming of Maria Callas, whoever she is. This fame thing, I don't get it. I wrapped my hand in plastic to try to look through it. Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves. I can take you far. This star thing, I don't get it. [I'll take you over. I'll take you there.] Aluminum, it tastes like fear. Adrenaline, it pulls us near. Will you live to 83? Will you ever welcome me, will you show me something that nobody else has seen? Smoke it, drink. Here comes the flood, anything to thin the blood. These corrosives do their magic slowly, and sweet. Phone, eat it, drink. just another chink, cuts and dents they catch the light. Aluminum, the weakest link. I don't want to disappoint you. I'm not here to annoint you. I would lick your feet but is that the sickest move, I wear my own crown, and sadness, and sorrow, and who'd of thought tomorrow could be so strange? My loss. And here we go again. [I'll take you over. I'll take you there.] Aluminum, it tastes like fear. Adrenaline, it pulls us near. It tastes like fear. It pulls us near. Look up, what do you see? All of you and all of me, fluorescent and starry some of them they surprise. I can't look it in the eyes. Seconal, spanish fly, absinthe, kerosene, cherry-flavored neck and collar. I can smell the sorrow on your breath. The sweat, the victory and sorrow. This smell thing, I got it. [I'll take you over. I'll take you there.] Aluminum, it tastes like fear. Adrenaline, it pulls us near. It tastes like fear. It pulls us near. It tastes like fear. It pulls us near.

slpindigo ::: Favorites Here you go...I found this along with a picture of him in the skirt on ew (dot)com THE PHOTO: The Tibetan Freedom Concert, Washington, D.C., 1998 MICHAEL STIPE SAYS: ''This was our first performance as a three-piece since Bill left the band, and I just wanted to present something that had a little pizzazz. So I went onstage in tighty-whities and this thing. It was a Gaultier knockoff. I flashed the whole audience.'' 07-07-20 16:12:27 _____________________________________________________
whirlpoolzend ::: Favorites Thanks slpindigo! Stipe's sense of humour must be one of the many factors that's kept him in the game (& on the planet). What a character. Please don't dump your favourites just yet, you have some great links I'll like to collar :-) 07-07-20 20:00:57 _____________________________________________________
