7 mile loop with REM's "The One I Love" this morning. Probably ranks right up there with "Every Breath You Take" as one of the most misinterpreted love songs of the 80's. A good listen to the lyrics tells you how mean-spirited it is. Anyway, it has a few good Peter Buck Rickenbacker riffs, which is mostly what I need when I run. An aside, the video was directed by Robert Longo, an artist I remember for his "Men in the Cities" series of larger than life size drawings of professionally dressed men and women writhing, falling and dancing in the street. Sounds odd, but pretty impressive when seen in person. Unlike the video for the song, which plays like a grad student film. A bad grad student film.
