why did michael stipe paint that line across his eyes/brow?

am watching the r.e.m program on bbc4.have always wondered what it signifies tbh 😕

It was in homage to Adam and the Ants.

Stipe was a massive fan.*

*This may or may not be true.

Why did Adam Ant do it?

because he is a bit of a fanny

Adam Ant did it because Michael stipe did it

Adam? Or Stipe? Adam was rock hard! He’s got a gun you know.

Adam Ant did it in homage to a jumper Roger Moore once wore.

Why did Adam Ant do it?

He wanted to be a native American … or aborigine or a Hindu priest …

Omar, I agree.

Actually, now I think about it, I believe it was to remind people of his name.

His surname is actually Stripe, but for some reason people kept thinking it was Stipe.

I saw rem at one of the festivals. Stipe had a blue band on his head and was giving it large about his Sinuses.

To get to the other side.
