Give Them What They Want

Uploaded by: TalkLeft
Video Description:
Natalie Merchant from 10,000 Maniacs and Michael Stipe from REM singing "Give Them What They Want" at a Jan. 1993 Inaugural Ball for President Clinton.
Turn up the volume, as this is from a VHS I made back in 1993 and the sound is too low otherwise.

One of the worst kept secrets was Michael's "queerness", his words. Natalie and Michael were and are great friends. They used to play the 40 watt club in Atlanta where it all began.
