We continue our feast on the songs from the legendary album Automatic For the People with another offering served up with a side of home insurance.
R.E.M.'s "Man on the Moon" is a song about the life and career of Andy Kaufman, a comedian and actor best known for his role as Latka Gravas on the
sitcom Taxi.
He was also known for his foray into professional wrestling.
Kaufman was an eccentric character who was known for his strange antics and pranks, which often left people wondering if he was really acting or just being himself.
The song tells the story of Kaufman's life, from his childhood in Great Neck, New York to his successful career in Hollywood.
The life and career of Kaufman left many wondering, was the chaos controlled, or just chaos?
We may never know.
Kaufman died of cancer in 1984 at the age of 35, but his legacy continues to live on through his work and the stories that are told about him.
"Man on the Moon" is just one of many songs inspired by Kaufman's life and career.
Goofing on Chaos, Hey Baby
Whether he acted or not, Kaufman seemed to welcome the chaos and controversy that surrounded his life and career.
We have yet to meet a Texan who openly welcomes chaos into their life.
Yet, live here long enough, and it will find you, whether you live in the Panhandle or next to the Gulf.
This chaos usually arrives in the form of fire, theft, softball-sized hail, vandalism, and other disasters.
None of these tend to occur within your control.
Home insurance protects you from these things by helping to restore your property and belongings after damage or destruction.
It gives you peace of mind knowing that you and your family are protected financially if something bad were to happen to your home.
There's Nothing Up Our Sleeve
Insurance For Texans exists to help protect you from the chaos, by restoring life back to normal as much as possible.
We help Texans save money on their home insurance without sacrificing coverage or service.
As an independent insurance agency, we do this by carefully selecting the insurance companies we work with and providing our clients with the best coverage and rates.
And just as a true R.E.M. fan needs to have their favorite band's albums in their collection, a True Texan shouldn't go without proper protection for you and yours.
If you don't, then nothing is cool.
We'll help you there.
