"[I hate] pranks. You're not that funny and you're not 15." --Michael Stipe
R.E.M.'s frontman admits he's not good with gags, maintaining "I'm too earnest." We should have known; 'Shiny Happy People' was ironic, after all.

He had to have been referring to something specific...that "quote" was way to vague from which to make any conclusions or opinions of the guy.

Mike loves the salty dog. Shiny Happy people is about a HARD Purple Headed Love snake named MR HAPPY. It Spit a salty substance when it got excited listening to REM.
