- The current rumour flying around town (Athens, GA) is that Micheal Stipe
- of R.E.M. has tested positive for HIV. This is supposed to be confirmed
- in an interview of the band in "Select" magazine. I haven't been able
- to track down a December issue of that magazine, so I haven't read it
- myself.
-
- IMHO the rumour is probably false, since Stipe seems to be the type who
- would publicize such a fact, rather than deny it or let the rumour mill
- carry it.

- P.S. I don't like REM. The only reason I paid any attention to the rumour
- is due to my concern for AIDS awareness.
