No Rock And Roll Fun

REM PLUS NONE: Michael Stipe has been hugel dismissive of Helena Christensen's request to record a song with REM. It's not that they've got anything against her - they're letting her tag along on tour and take photos, and Stipe seems to have invited her to get drunk in his hotel room and sing, but he's firm on the question of public collaboration. Although it's hardly fair to say to someone "you can sing with us, but only when we're in our pyjamas", however wise that might be.
