Total genius!
I’ve mentioned it before, but I literally weep when listening to REM’s Man in the Moon. It’s a sweet eulogy to Kaufman … and the music just hits me square in the heart for some reason … I’m just a softy at heart … and it seems to touch my heart that this genius comedian died long before his time.

Now, Andy, did you hear about this one?
Tell me, are you locked in the punch?
Andy, are you goofing on Elvis?
Hey baby, are we losing touch?
If you believed they put a man on the moon
Man on the moon
If you believe there’s nothing up his sleeve
Then nothing is cool
PS … I don’t think GYM believes we put a man on the moon
That is too good.
I think there’s a solid percentage of folks in that 1979 audience who have seen the actual Elvis as well,
whole lotta nodding approval goin’ on..
