In the real life version (or at least in my real life version) the horse is in Berlin and it's shitting, not peeing*.  The horse could be a real horse, a man dressed up as a horse, or a man hung like a horse.

Uhu.

  I've never been to Berlin - but my understanding is that any of those three scenarios is quite plausible.  Anyone here ever been to Berlin?

I've been to Berlin. Your back story is still as insane had I not gone to Berlin.

*glad the director went with peeing.

Why? If it's supposed to be shitting, then let it shit, poor thing. Sing along!!!

What is the Horse Fair?

The Horse Fair (Fickstutenmarkt) is a private event that takes place irregularly in clubs in Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig and  
Mannheim. Here, willing mares offer themselves to stallions without ever seeing their faces.

Like all horse fairs, this one has strict rules.

Before the event begins, every participant has to decide whether he wants to take part either as a mare or as a stallion.
It is not possible to change roles once the market begins!

On the day of the fair, the mares arrive before the stallions. The naked mares have their hands bound and are blindfolded.


Then the stallions appear and can fully inspect the shackled mares at their leisure.


Wait. In your back story, the mares have hands? What, are they centaur mares? What do you mean they appear naked? They were in their Sunday best before the fair? So we have  blindfolded mares with no clothes on and their hands (?) bound waiting to be serviced by anonymous stallions? Oy.


Quote


When a stallion has decided on a mare, he leads the mare untied to a covering place of his choice.

When the stallion has finished covering the mare, this mare is then available for covering by other stallions.

none of it seems to have anything to do with the song.
I'm gonna go Ethan on you here. Which R.E.M. videos (with the exception of maybe stuff like Driver 8, LNY, Bad Day and SHP) have much to do with the song? Is that an important aspect?

Not so much, but (IMHO) there is no point to this film whatsoever. I can't even find any artistic statement either. It's just bad bad bad bad. At least we had the AAAA video yesterday to redress the balance.
There are no B-sides anymore, its all mp3's!

Does anyone remember the postcard sent through the fan club during Reveal's promotional tour?  Co-incidental or maybe not but still, it is - a horse. And  I'm 100% sure I read an article not long after Up was released where Michael said he wanted to call the record -"Me In My Urine"
Also some of the lyrics in the Outsiders refer to being in a restaurant, Some trivia that may or may not be related but still kind of intriguing.
.
Watching that horse piss running down the concrete depresses me for some reason.  I really love the song though.

i feel sorry for you SFA.

how sad your life must be,

no fun.  no sex.  no magic.

Bill Miller and Hitler.

what an ugly existence.


Oh hang on, aren't you the person who thought children seeing their parents undressed are emotionally scarred by the sight of the human body? Nudity is brutalizing for people to see? THAT'S healthy.
My life has plenty of magic and fun thank you very much. As for sex, at least I don't have to fabricate relationships with rock stars and go around trolling on fansites with  delusional love affairs with the rich and famous that exist solely in your tiny, warped mind. Combine that with your phobias about the beauty of the human form, now THAT'S ugly. Oh and sad.
Michael Stipe, if he even is aware of you and your creepy obsessions would do well to get extra security where you're concerned. Poor man, he is a freak magnet. And you are one of the biggest freaks I have come across in a loooong time..
I thought Bill Miller was hilarious. Still do. I thought some of the the Hitler parodies were amusing. Still do. Do you not understand the word PARODY? Look it up online.
If sex for you  is stalking famous people and writing bestial porn I would suggest that it's you who has the problem, sweetheart...

so sad.  i don't think i've ever seen so much anger concentrated in one person.

anger is a cancer, etty - it kills you faster than your disease, and it's much more painful.

You sounded pretty angry yourself there. You are a fucking lunatic who thinks she has a thing with Michael Stipe. Just because I don't buy into your fairy stories about how you and Michael Stipe are secretly in love you go apeshit. I have never seen such a confused, delusional case as you.  Oh, hey, let's bring cancer into it! Because you've run out of ideas for your  verbal diarrhea, you hit back with cancer. Well congragulations, you are one sick, sad, lonely person. FYI I don't have cancer but maybe you should apologize to members on this board who  might have had their lives injured by it. Cancer is not some throw away comment, you can really hurt people who are having issues with that illness.

But to you, it's a justification to call me names. Go for it, hun, and try and leave cancer out of it unless that's the best you can do. It's a low blow to people who suffer with it.
Not just pitiful but cruel as well. Who'd have guessed it?

Maybe a moderator should close this thread. It's gone off topic in a really unpleasant way. It was fun for awhile but now it's not.

My mother died of cancer at 11pm on January 3, 2008.  My daughter, Courtney, and my sister, Jackie, both have cancer.

They would agree with me; anger is a cancer.

You know, this is too ugly and crazy. I'm out of this, it's horrible. Maybe you should examine your own anger.

I'm going to crawl into a cave now. Somebody wake me up when March is over. Because I'm over it.

And I haven't even watched the video.

After listening to Michael explain it on Ivana's blog, I think I understand. I still haven't watched it, but I feel differently about it already.

geez. this thread is a train wreck.  am I the only one who was reading along thinking there were 2 users having a larf with each other, only to suddenly realise it was serious?  fark.  

back to the video, watching it a couple of times it actually opened the song up to me a bit...I think I was initially so bewildered by the visual content, that I stopped trying to listen to the song, so in the weirdest way this one did actually work to 'promote' the song to me.

Haha, the amount of offense taken and misery on this forum is absolutely astounding!

These songs and video's are made by people far more talented than us, else we'd be doing it!

Put it this way, I'd much rather have an R.E.M. video filled with horse dicks or even shit on toast, than watch the band in leather trousers perform on a runway while a plane flies over them, a la U2!

Good grief people!

I agree with everything you said except "shit on toast."

I'm not up for that so much.

Can't we all just not unite and diss Coldplay?

I'm happy to join the people's revolt against the tyranny of both U2 and Coldplay, just so long as there are no other breakfast items involved.
