My Top 10 R.E.M. Moments
I actually did not move from Boston to Athens, GA because of R.E.M. It had more to do with Love Tractor, to be honest - along with what were then really cheap horsekeeping options just a few minutes outside town. Nevertheless, it feels REALLY weird to know there’s no longer an R.E.M. I wish them the best, and thought I would share my personal Top 10 R.E.M. Moments - in chronological order.

Not to state the obvious, but how many listeners does the NYPO actually think are ever going to SEE those liner notes in these iTunes days? Or care? I’m sure they’re thinking they’re going to see a whole lot of money in settlement but honestly the actual value of this case is minimal.
