Mike Turns 47

It was Michael Stipe's birthday yesterday, and Filter Magazine celebrated by linking to a bunch of videos (via Pop Candy). As you may have guessed from occasional posts, I'm a pretty big fan of the guy. Plus, we share a name (he's John Michael, too) and an astrological sign (Capricorns in the house). So, here's my belated notice of the big day, and to celebrate, enjoy him and the boys tearing through a classic:



On a related note, I found a site that lists the following likes and dislikes of Capricorns:
LIKES

Reliability
Professionalism
Knowing what you discuss
Firm Foundations
Purpose

DISLIKES

Wild Schemes
Fantasies
Go-nowhere jobs
Ignominy
Ridicule
And I suppose this leads to the obvious question: Is there a sign that likes go-nowhere jobs and ignominy? Because if so, that's a sad-ass sign.

Stipe's dislike for go-nowhere jobs might explain his poor record of tipping service industry workers.
