Whilst giving an interview to FHM magazine in support of the new R.E.M. greatest hits album, Michael Stipe fields a familiar question about Morrissey.

Did you steal Morrissey's stage moves?
Just one--reaching out across the crowd--not my whole act. And had I been at a Neil Diamond concert, I would've seen the same move. It was 1985, I think, and I saw Morrissey do it and I thought it was effective. So I copied it.
Any moves backfire on you?
I lost my pants once and wasn't wearing any underwear. I got a standing ovation. I don't remember where that was. I think I've blocked it out.

Why Stipe was giving an interview to FHM and why the interviewer brought up Morrissey and why I was reading FHM are unknowns. ;)

    Elvis did the same move about 50 years ago.
