50 trolls

Go fuck yourselves, the lot of you ? you sad, attention-grabbing, power-hungry little men," R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe said

The band has been broken up since 2011. They have done some solo projects and appeared on each other's solo projects, but say they have no plans of getting back together.

They are, and always have been, pretty politically active people so I have a feeling this has more to do with them not wanting to be associated with Trump than them looking for publicity of any kind.

DM, anyone ever met you face to face or you just another brassmonkey here?

Whether they want it or not, they will certainly benefit from it. I would imagine a few people bought a few of their songs on iTunes today who probably wouldn't have otherwise. :winkwink:

I know, I just wanted to hear you say it, lol.

Gofuckyourself.

Thats what I though dipshit. :1orglaugh

Likely true. I guess I was just saying that I doubt they responded to Trump in a public way seeing publicity, but you are right, I'm sure there are some people who will go out and buy some of their music as a result.

My simplistic reply to you was on account of you being too fucking stupid to figure out i don't owe you a fucking copy of my resume for my replying to an insult from somebody else.

My simplistic reply to you shitstain was that you are a no-name shitstain. Posting shit all day long. What part of adult biz you in shitstain? No need to answer. :1orglaugh
Everytime I see some guy with green color and nothing to back it up with, I think its another fucking surfer or low life meth head pimp trying to fit in.

I think I CLEARLY said that BMI collects that. Fuck you are just trolling and acting stupid.

Pretty sure he always did. Chrissy Hynde of The Pretenders still doesn't want him to use the song. But there's nothing she can do about it.

They (Michael Stipe) have a pretty cool non-profit film company C-100 Film Corp. Does PSAs, docs and maybe features now. I worked on a couple with the other founder, Director, Jim McKay.

In 1997, the EMI publishing company issued a cease and desist request to Rush Limbaugh, who for years had been using an edited instrumental version of Hynde's song "My City Was Gone" for the broadcast's opening theme. When the request came to Hynde's attention during a radio interview, she said her parents loved and listened to Rush and she did not mind its use. They agreed to a usage payment which she donates to PETA

Good find. :)

All I knew was hearing about it back then that he was being told he couldn't use the song. And then I found out that he still does. So I figured he came to some kind of agreement with whomever owned the rights.

Interesting. I had heard that Stipe especially was getting into film and video production I never knew if it was ever more than just a passing interest though. Sounds like they might be doing some cool stuff.

Can you find what her own publishing company is? I can't.
I know she goes through EMI but I can't believe she never set up publishing on her own.

I know you put out music, Robbie. Make sure you sign up with Harry Fox. They are the best royalties trackers I have found to date.

Yeah, I wish they would put more into indie films.

Unrelated but did you see "October Gales" with Patricia Clarkson and Tim Roth? Shot in Northern Ontario. Amazing landscapes and great film.

The last thing I worked on with Jim was to translate a song in Arabic about a Romeo & Juliet scenario. It was canned cause the ending of the film using it was canned. Great movie. I think it was called Everyday People, for HBO.

He has no links to any sites in his sig, and there are no pictures of him at any shows, and his only contact info is to contact him via GFY. I think he only lives and exists on GFY.

hi **********, thank you for your interest in me. you are free to think whatever you dream up.

that reminds me, i do need to clean the pool.

it's funny though. how you spend time making shit up about me, drag up some random image, all to make a post at gfy about my posting on gfy.

you do need a bit of common sense to realize that though, so i'm not expecting you to get it.

The funniest is when politicians use songs that skewer US politics like "Born in the USA" because the chorus sounds so pro-US without realizing or contemplating the content of the lyrics.

If you beat it with a stick does candy fall out its ass?

I was trying to determine who the bigger idiot is; REM's lead singer or crockett. I think we all know the answer to that one.

Oh look it's the guy who dresses up for Halloween everyday..

Yet another one that whines about piracy but ignores the JesusTrump stealing..

Oh boy, the orange clown lovers are offended again.





:1orglaugh

I haven't seen it, but just looked it up on IMDB and it sounds pretty cool. I'll have to check it out.

so you do have a day job !

You're trying to insult someone by exclaiming they have a job?

Got it.

No you clearly said it was ok he used it with out paying for it.. Don't try to back track..

bMI didn't collect anything, because Trump used it with out permission..

Not at all.

Why do I even bother. lol

I came into this thread and said that you were focusing on silliness instead of the bigger issue of the Iran nuclear deal.

And then you went even sillier by trying to make the thread about me and my views on piracy.

WTF crockett?
You aren't even trying to pretend that you are interested in a discussion anymore are you?

Everytime, eh?

Never mind the fact that you don't know that Trump stole anything, when the fuck have I ever whined about piracy? Hell, have I ever even breached the topic?

What was the song anyway?
