I know he’s been irrelevant for years and years, but Michael Stipe rocked my world 20 years ago and I have a tremendous amount of respect for his work through about 1987.
So it was a bit of a shock to see his “celebrity playlist” at the Apple Music store and find Justin Timberlake on it.
Here’s hoping that either his publicist did the list for him, or he’s got Alzheimer’s.

And he appeared on Warren Zevon’s 1987 album, Sentimental Hygiene. Why do I have the feeling that his “celebrity playlist” did not include anything by Mr. Zevon?
