I remember when r.e.m. played this song live. There was a brief story before the song started about a man who divided his house in two. He lived in one side until he needed a change and then moved the the other side... until he needed a change, etc., ad infinitum.
i pictured the guy looking something like their folk art friend Howard Finster. He could have looked like anyone I guess as it seems there's no shortage of eccentric southern gentlemen in the r.e.m. fold.
I love the song, the earnest vocal delivery, the hooky interplay between bill and mike and the driving guitar. a great album cut.
