Intro to the Article

Anyone notice that the second paragraph is saying something in 2006 happened before something in 2004? A source is wrong somewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.58.221.114 (talk) 20:15, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Background to the song

As Stipe stated in interviews, the tune is a love song to the city. Stipe regards New York as his second hometown. Once, flying out of the city and seeing it from above, Stipe was overwhelmed by its beauty and wrote the song right there on the plane.

I'm pretty sure this is the story behind Departure, not Leaving New York. (Stubbsy67 09:14, 14 May 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:REMLeavingNYSingle.jpg

Image:REMLeavingNYSingle.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
