Courtney Love thought it was about her? Did she not realize Mr. Stipe is gay? Or was that the point, he was trying to pretend he isn't gay so she'd like him? But what would be the point in pretending ur not gay to get a girl? Because if u really r gay u wouldn't like her in the first place and if u really like her that would make u not gay. O well.
@ZinbobDan Stipe's rumored to have been involved with a few women along the way as well as men. He once described himself as "an equal-opportunity lech." I have gay friends who don't mind crossing the line in exceptional circumstances. And, of course, a song doesn't have to be literally about the singer. He could be adopting a persona.

As to the relation between what Courtney Love thinks and reality, I will just note that, if it's true, "sad tomato" and "three miles of bad road" certainly fit. But it's hard to take anything she says...
