R.E.M. Breaks Up ……………………………………………. It’s the end of their world, as we know it…
R.E.M. breaks up. One of my favorites. Electric then acoustic and back. A rock band during one song and folk-rockers the next. A critics, ‘Rolling Stone’, college, MTv, and record store favorite. Crazy lyrics or serious? At R.E.M.’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall Of Fame induction, Eddie Vedder says back-up singing of Mike Mills was their secret weapon. Try “Mummur”, “Automatic”, “OutOfTime” and “In Time+Epony”. (1981-2011 R.E.M.)
