My favorite band ever is calling it quits!!!

R.E.M. ...they were the soundtrack of my youth!

I am so sad!

[Maggie Mae]

Well, they have been around for 31 years.

I don't think its final. I think Michael Stipe is having a midlife crisis. He posted a pic of his nekked self yesterday(check Perez if your interested ,NSFW)

I saw REM 20 years ago and it was an outdoor concert and awesome. We have a signed cd too,they were our(mine and Dh's) favorite band for years.

"Let Me In" is my fav.REM song ever, I am listening to it now....

On the other hand, I heard that the Rolling Stones are planning their 50th anniversary tour for next year! Holy smokes!!

They supposedly broke up in the 90s after Bill Berry's departure, but then realized they still had some music in them. I wouldn't be surprised if they got back together again.

I think so.

So are the Beach Boys(which should be interesting, to say the least, if only to see if Brian Wilson and Mike Love can even be within 10 miles of each other).

The Beach Boys are awful now a days. Just a train wreck of old men who no longer have pipes.
