I have a lot of R.E.M. stories, most of which I can tell in some version or another. They might be interesting, they might not be, but I’ll get around to telling some of them on this blog. 16 years is a long time to have worked with people you idolize, and I experienced the whole “Almost Famous” thing from beginning to end really.
Today REM called it a day. I’ve known the day was coming for a bit in my heart. I’ll remain friends with everyone in the REM family and wish everyone the best. I owe them all more than I can ever express. The last 16 years of working with them has been an honor.
Not much more I can say.
If you are a fan or if any way effected by the band, leave your thoughts at Thank You REM
