Thanks R.E.M.

Just a note of thanks to a band that created music on their own terms and left the business that way as well. Thanks for sharing your art with the masses.

I'm turning them on today when I get home from work. I too remember REM as a favorite from my college days in the mid '80's along with: INXS The Producers The Cult Prince Ministry Smashing Pumpkins (early) Depeche Mode Violent Femmes Good times. It's 80's retro night tonight, putting on the parachute pants, and spiking up the hair.

True story.
