This popped up in my Google News feed. It's an old television clip from a local St. Louis, Missouri news station in the late '70s where they're doing one of those "What the heck is this Rocky Horror phenomenon?" type news pieces. Apparently Michael Stipe (of R.E.M.) went to high school in Collinsville, Illinois and frequented the Rocky Horror showings in St. Louis. If you go to around 1:25 into the video, you'll see Michael Stipe in full Dr. Frank-N-Furter costume and makeup. Fabulous. 8)

thats really cool. I like it when I find out celebrities are fans of the film. Michael Stipe has been reported saying that he learned how to sing by listening to the Rocky horror soundtrack when he was younger. I read that somewhere and I think he mentioned it in a tv interveiw a long time ago too.
