Way Back Wednesday: R.E.M.
I heard the news today, oh boy
A band I used to love has gone away
And though the news is very sad
I just have to laugh-
I saw the photographs...
Oh wow. I loved and still love me some R.E.M. While I wasn't a huge fan as of late, they were the soundtrack to many years of my life. "Pretty Persuasion," "Radio Free Europe," "I Believe" ...all amazing songs that I still love today. My BFF Michele and I knew all the words to "It's the End of the World" (harmonies and all) and would annoy everyone around us by singing them at the top of our lungs.
R.I.P. R.E.M.
and I feel fine....

I had a 1985 REM tour shirt which I wore for a good 10 years before I was too embarrassed to do so. I felt they'd broken up a long time ago. Michael Stipe's sort of morphed into a grandfatherly version of Moby to me and lord knows I have a strong disdain for that vegan freak.
