	Review: Man on the Moon
		Man on the Moon, with its title taken from the R.E.M. song, is director Milos Forman's unabashedly favorable look at Kaufman's public years, and may represent the final chapter in the comedian's restoration to a platform of affection and respect.
		The success of Man on the Moon rests squarely on the shoulders of Jim Carrey, who, with this performance, completes the transition from off-the-wall comedian to serious actor that he began in The Truman Show.
		Man on the Moon does not whitewash its lead character, but he is presented as a likable, albeit strange, protagonist.

	SCOTT CROTHERS \| The Man In The Moon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This song is about the loneliness of our lunar neighbor who throughout the ages has looked down on us from the sky.
		The song imagines the moon in its great distance from us wanting to be not so far away.
		I guess this song is about putting a more human element to the fabled "man in the moon" and I hope you enjoy it!

	Moon Lore: Moon Spots: II. The Man in the Moon
		In Tobler's account the man was given the choice of burning in the sun, or of freezing in the moon; and preferring a lunar frost to a solar furnace, he is to be seen at full moon seated with his bundle of sticks on his back.
		This belief prevails as far south as Panama, for the inhabitants of the Isthmus of Darien have a tradition that the man in the moon was guilty of gross misconduct towards his elder sister, the sun.
		The moon was affected, and came down, entered the house, and approached the child, saying, "Here is water from heaven: drink." The child anxiously laid hold of the pot and drank the draught, and was enticed to go away with the moon, its benefactor.

		This delightful old song is said to have been penned by the "Merry Monarch", King James V, father of Marry Queen of the Scots.
		This song, a recent composition, is extremely moving in the way that it interconnects the human spirit, the land, and the seasons.
		For many years this song was mistakenly thought to be the work of Robert Burns intil it finally emerged that it was written by Lady Nairne.

		And some folk say when the net lies long And the midnight hour is ripe; The moon man fishes for some old song That fell from a sailor's pipe.
		Zoon, zoon, net of the moon Rides on the wrinkling sea; Bright is the fret and shining wet, Fashioned of moonbeams three.
		And some folk say when the great net gleams And the waves are dusky blue, The moon man fishes for two little dreams He lost when the world was new.

	USATODAY.com - Man in the moon feeling blue this Saturday (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		A blue moon — the nickname for the second full moon in the same month — rises Saturday night, an astronomical oddity with a name based on a botched bit of modern folklore.
		Playing on the notion that the moon was made of green cheese, poets joked that a never-seen "blue" moon was made of well-aged blue cheese.
		The most famous occurrence of blue-tinted moons came in 1883, when dust from the volcano Krakatoa in Indonesia colored the atmosphere for two years.

		Even when you are in orbit around the moon, the horizon which is more curved than even the earth, shows the mountain peaks," he says almost as if envisioning the moon in front of his eyes.
		Cernan says the change from gravity on earth to zero gravity in the spacecraft to 1/6th gravity on the moon is not as rapid and abrupt as people think.
		The one sight that in an inexplicable way kept him sane and going was the earth leisurely rotating on its axis, nights turning into days and days into nights, as the sun illuminated the planet with its blinding light.

	SCREEN IT! ARTISTIC REVIEW: MAN ON THE MOON
		That's especially true now upon the release of "Man on the Moon," an episodic and partially satisfying look at the comedian and his many antics.
		For those who may now be groaning or had a similar reaction upon first hearing that the man who once talked out of his butt and uttered phrases like "Smooookeeeeeen" would tackle this character, let me state that Carrey is absolutely fabulous in the role.
		A certifiable triumph of physical and behavioral imitation across many characters and the man himself, Carrey's performance is so good and dead-on that anyone remotely familiar with the late comic may often forget it's not Kaufman himself.

	DAVE THE MOON MAN LYRICS - Looper
		All that distance from the surface he was pinned down on to the surface glowing in the darkness, with nothing but space all the way in between.
		If a moon boot could leave such a deep impression on the surface of the moon, then the thrust of the rocket when it was landing should have forced two big mounds up on either side of the rocket.
		And he really wanted to believe that people had travelled to the moon in that crazy rocket, that looked as if it was made out of tin-foil and cardboard.

		Four hours after landing on the moon and wearing the backpack that contained my life-support system, I wriggled backward through the tiny hatch, got to my knees on the small porch, and cautiously descended Challenger's ladder, a rung at a time, until I stood on the saucerlike footpad.

		The belief that the man was banished to the moon persisted throughout the middle ages.
		The moon seems to be something of a Rorshack test, with different people seeing different images, depending on their cultural background, but certain images seem to crop up in widely separated parts of the world, implying that these images are not totally arbitrary.

	Man on the Moon Movie Review by Anthony Leong
		These are the questions posed by "Man on the Moon" (named after the R.E.M. song), an Andy Kaufman biopic that brings together director Milos Forman ("The People vs. Larry Flynt") and comedian Jim Carrey ("The Truman Show").
		In its two hour running time, "Man on the Moon" delves into the mystery of the Andy Kaufman, and tries to make sense of his life and why he did the crazy things that earned him both applause and notoriety.
		Of course, much of the success for "Man on the Moon" can be attributed to Carrey, who seems to have put aside the rubber-faced antics of his early days and become a true dramatic actor.

	Call Down the Moon - Man - Song Listings
		Man's first American release in 20 years, Call Down the Moon arrived in 1995, the successor to 1992's brilliant Twang Dynasty, and a worthy one at that.
		Almost half the album tracks find the band approaching the nine- or ten-minute barrier that, in the past, was always the hallmark of Man at their most magical, while the song titles positively ooze the old spirit as well -- "Burn My Working Clothes," "The Girl Is Trouble," "Call Down the Moon" itself.
		Poor distribution and a shockingly bad cover do mar Call Down the Moon somewhat -- considering it was a brand new album by a much beloved band, the package screams "cheap cash-in" so loudly that even loyal fans initially gave it a wide berth.

		In Man on the Moon, Jim Carrey delivers a meticulously crafted (and startlingly accurate) picture of a performance artist cloaked in the guise of a stand-up comedian, one whose creativity thumbed its nose at the stardom he craved and resented.

		With its highly original opening, "Man on the Moon" is the stuff with which Andy would have been proud.
		Kaufman is the man who became somewhat of an overnight sensation with his appearance on the popular TV show "Saturday Night Live" with his "Mighty Mouse" routine.
		It was incredibly stupid, him silently standing there listening to a record of the song that introduced a animated TV series and then mimicking the single line: "Here I come to save the day." It was so stupid that people actually liked it.

		Many celebrities who knew and worked with Kaufman appear in the picture, apparently to lend their stamp of approval, but Man in the Moon might have worked better without them, because it’s jarring.
		As for the Man on the Moon himself, Carrey gives a dead-on imitation of Kaufman, for those who think mimicry is Oscar-worthy.

		An orchestral version of Man on the Moon is good, but almost unrecognizable - it was only when I got the DVD-Audio version of Automatic for the People that I recognized a few elements from the song that had made the transition.
		The original Man on the Moon is one of three R.E.M. performances on the album.
		It's one of my favorite songs of the band's three-piece period, thoughtful and mellow but still up-tempo enough to have some energy to it.
