My favorite lines from R.E.M.'s segment on the Colbert report...

Colbert: How much mandolin on this album? If like "Losing My Religion" is like 10, where are we?
Buck: This would be negative three in the mandolin sweepstakes.


Stipe: Yeah, I'm not, I'm not great with the girl songs.
Colbert: No?
Stipe: No (shaking head).
Colbert: Oh come on, you're a rocker. You must be picking them out of the front row!
