    Ummm…That’s just a little too weird for me. Nothing wrong with it necessarily, I just don’t find the song appealing.

  • Mia said:

    Wow, this song actually turned out pretty well. Might have to get that album when it comes out here soon.

  • Brad said:

    Sounds like Courtney’s balls finally dropped. Good for her.

    Michael has ALOT of sympathy for that devil…

    I’m glad these two are still friends, as Michael was extremely close to Kurt at the time of his death. I think this song sounds pretty good, and I like how Courtney sings the low parts. It’s a nice compliment to Stipe’s vocals.

  • Allison said:

    It sounds really good, i love court and michael.You can say what you will about Courtney but she is a fantastic singer as is michael, I am really happy they decided to do this!

  • Krist Chris Cantrell said:

    Courtney sounds like she’s been inhaling exhaust fumes because she wants to sound like Patty Smith and Maryann Faithfull

  • Kris said:

    Not my style of music but they do sound very good together. I’m happy to know they still remain friends too since like shoegazer said … Stipe was close to Kurt.

  • Medea said:

    This make me happy

  • MJ said:

    Uh, what? Since when is Courtney Love a “fantastic singer”? Have you heard her sing live? Even she would disagree.

  • Christine said:

    shoegazer, well said.

    MJ, I’ve seen her live and she delivers the goods. Screaming and Cigarettes do catch up with one’s vocal cords.

    Very nice photo.

    Stipe must have the patience of a saint to have remained friends with her for so long and steered clear of her wrath.
