not much of an REM fan and I do not know the song, but I know that a philomath is a person who loves learning.

do I win? or is that not right?

You could be right but it is also something else too. So. Sorry. You don't win.

Oops! forgot to answer the main question.

And my answer is...none. Bald guys don't do it for me, except for Tom Colicchio (host of Top Chef) he's bald and totally gets my motor humming.

He's like a chunky cookin' non-singing Maynard. But he's okay. I found a video of him for reference:

I don't know what it is about him. He's not even all that classically handsome or anything-but man! I watched that whole video with a smile on my face. I watch Top Chef all the time and I don't even cook. It's weird.

R.E.M. has had more of a influence on music. But I think the Smashing Pumpkins take it 'cause Corgan is a badass.

Everytime I make a comment here, I immediately want to delete it and can't. 

!

You know what's scary about this? The fact that it has been almost 3 years (til now) since someone posted here and the evidence is in the page history of who did what here. Oh well. ;/

They will always be one of the best bands who ever existed. Personally, i don't think the "getting back together " thing will happen anytime soon..

Rest in peace for the pumpkins..
