The current rumour flying around town (Athens, GA) is that Micheal Stipe
of R.E.M. has tested positive for HIV.  This is supposed to be confirmed
in an interview of the band in "Select" magazine.  I haven't been able
to track down a December issue of that magazine, so I haven't read it 
myself.

IMHO the rumour is probably false, since Stipe seems to be the type who
would publicize such a fact, rather than deny it or let the rumour mill
carry it.

P.S. I don't like REM.  The only reason I paid any attention to the rumour
is due to my concern for AIDS awareness.

my opinions are my own. -- croag
