R.E.M. is Air >Supply" Yes, I found this to be quite inspiring. For the next 10 years, whenever I went into a record store that was playing REM (and this happened quite often), I would pick out the clerk that was enjoying the music the most and ask them "Is this the new Air Supply album?". When they inevitably answered no, I would say "Funny, sounds just like them". This always elicited a huge scowl from the clerk and a secret smile from me. Just goes to show, when you put a meme out there, you never know where people will run with it... always a smartass never a dumbass Che
