Question: Why is there a 4 superimposed over the "R"'s on the cover? Why is
the 4th track numbered with an "R"?
Answer: Well, the story goes that Stipe was typing out the order of songs, or
possibly some lyrics for something at the studio, and he hit the 4 key
instead of the R key when he typed "GREEN". So it looked like "G4EEN".
(Note how close the two keys are on a standard USA keyboard)
I guess he thought it was funny and liked the way it looked, so they
carried it through on just about everything they did for that album as
sort of a running joke.
