Welcome to Roc k ‘n Roll Fr idays on WTIT: The Blog. This meme appealed to us because of a twist in its concept. Each week DJ KathyA (its host) picks a rock band, artist or era. She digs up thirteen quotes from the song lyrics and asks her questions based on the quotes. Let’s do it.

Rock ‘n Roll Fridays: R.E.M.

1. MAN IN THE MOON “If you believe, they put a man on the moon…”

What public scandal such as Roswell, Kennedy Shooting, Agent Orange, etc do you question?

Eliot Spitzer. Apart from a few very public acts of indiscretion, he seemed like a great guy. Oh, and I mean except for the humiliation of his wife’s and kid’s. Oh, except for the part that he was a “tough on crime, no hooker before her time” hypocrisy part.

2. RADIO FREE EUROPE “Radio Free Europe, radio free europe, calling out…”

Have you ever used a shortwave radio or listened to another country’s radio broadcast?

I mostly listen to broadcasts from other planets like Uranus.

3. IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT “It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine”

What would you eat if you knew it was the end of the world soon?

Don’t you mean “who”?

4. LOSING MY RELIGION “Losing my religion, and I don’t know, oh no I’ve said too much…”

Have you ever said something to someone that was negative about a religion only to find that person was of the faith you were speaking about?

As often as possible.

5. NIGHTSWIMMING “Nightswimming, remembering that night…”

Have you ever gone skinny dipping at night, or night swimming in a lake, pond, river, beach, pool?

Yes. Wanna see the videos?

6. THE ONE I LOVE “This one goes out to the one I love. This one goes out to the one I left behind”

Is there a song you hear that reminds you of someone in your past every time you hear it?

There are a lot of songs. I do sorta have a long past.

7. STAND “Stand in the place where you work, now face west…”

What was the last childhood game you played as an adult?

Doctor.

8. EVERYBODY HURTS “Everybody hurts, everybody cries, sometimes, sometimes everything is wrong…”

What is wrong right now?

It’s fucking 5 AM and I’m up. This is the middle of the fucking night. I have a meeting in Boston at 9 AM.

9. DON’T GO BACK TO ROCKVILLE “Don’t go back to Rockville, and waste another year”

Where will you never go back to?

To where I once belonged.

10. ORANGE CRUSH “I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush”

What is your favorite fruit flavor and your favorite way to have it?

Banana. I just love watching a woman have one.

11. SOUTH CENTRAL RAIN “Did you never call? I waited for your call…”

What was the last call you were waiting for?

At the moment from the governor, commuting my sentence. Oops, I mean my meeting.

12. DRIVE “What if you did what if you walked? What if you rocked around the clock?”

What was the last thing you did that took hours and hours to finish?

I’m a sixty minute man.

13. POP SONG “Should we talk about the weather…Should we talk about the government?”

What was the last thing you said about the weather and the government?

The weather is too fucking cold and the government cannot get out of its own way. Republicans and democrats both suck moose. The republicans just suck more. We’re back with Sam.
