Today, we’re continuing our 6 Degrees game with The List (see Part 1 here). And, again, because we’re doing a bit of a Prince-theme and will be timing the end of this series (Part 8) to land on the (8th) anniversary of him leaving us (April 21), we’ll be picking out some fun Prince-connections in/below each set.
Okay, here we go, carrying on from where we left off last time, i.e., the Medicine Singers’ self-titled album…

#GutenMorgen, heute, #onthisday, vor 64 Jahren am 04.01.1960 wurde Michael Stipe, Sänger und Songwriter der Band R.E.M. geboren.
#REM und ihr Sänger stand und steht für soziales und progressives Engagement.
Bei den MTV Music Awards 1991 trug #MichaelStipe sieben T-Shirts. Jedes mit einer (leider) noch immer aktuellen Message:
RAINFOREST
LOVE KNOWS NO COLOR
WEAR A CONDOM
CHOICE
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY NOW
THE RIGHT TO VOTE
HANDGUN CONTROL

Was SUPER into REM in 1991 & this was one of my fav cassettes & for some reason thought about this song a couple days ago for a #sarscov2 mix tape of 90’s hits… because “shiny happy people holding hands” is the very vibe of the moment
To know what the song actually meant & to know I wasn’t far off.. well that’s… cool?
Glad to see #MichaelStipe #REM still around & that some of my fav childhood musicians might make it…
