*A COMMENT: I'm going to borrow this comment from Youtube, "It's the end of R.E.M. as we know it!" So I came home, turned on the computer just to find out R.E.M. had come to an end, here is what they posted on their page:

“To our Fans and Friends: As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band. We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished. To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest thanks for listening.” R.E.M.

All I can to do now is to issue A BIG, BIG, REALLY BIG THANK YOU! THANK YOU guys for having created, developed, nurtured and carried the flag of alternative rock music! THANK YOU for having helped the underground come out! THANK YOU for having influenced so many bands! But most of all THANK YOU for having created such beautiful music! Your talent will be missed...
