Not the End Of The World As We Know It

REM calls it a day.

Lots of good live memories, interviewed Peter Buck back when they actually needed the press ('84 or '85), and learned a couple of tunes that we used to play with the band.

Astonishing run for a single-guitar, four piece band. One of the last bands that proved that decent hooks, modest charisma from the lead singer and a no-bullshit persona can actually take a band a long way.

Would an REM make it today? Probably not.
