Man on the moon - REM

Quedé fascinado con el personaje más crudo y salvaja del humor yanqui: el gran Andy Kaufman. Que quería sorprender siempre, que le temía a la repetición y a la monotonía, y que por ese temor cometía muchos errores, deslices y ofensas.
Era un provocador profesional y muchos nos parecemos a él pues parecemos ganadores, pero no lo somos. Y está feo que te digan que eres una leyenda cuando estás 3 metros bajo tierra y antes que traten como al culo.
El tema está en uno de los mejores discos de los '90, de una banda que hace rock yanqui sureño, talvez, como todo lo bueno, todo tiempo pasado fue mejor... pero nada mas de escuchar "Lotus", les perdono todo.
Rock tranquilo, pero con actitud.
