As if I didn't need another reason to feel old older, I heard on the radio the other day that Michael Stipe has turned 50 years old. That just doesn't sound right - seems like only yesterday my high school and college friends were buying REM CDs. While I'm not a huge fan of the group, the milestone birthday seems like a good enough reason to pick them for today's Two Forgotten Favorites. One of them you actually may not have heard before - it's a remake of a 1971 Tommy James hit (after he left the Shondells) called Dragging the Line. REM's version appears on the soundtrack for Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
My other choice is 1989's Stand - one of my favorite REM songs.
I'm off to the Cape later today and won't be online, so I hope you all have a great weekend. Stay tuned for August's Retro Hottie of the Month, which may be a day or two late being posted!
