R.E.M. Calling it Quits After 31 Years
Posted on | September 22, 2011 | No Comments
I’ve was a big fan of R.E.M. for many years. I’m a bit saddened that they are calling it quits. My favorite albums are probably “Green”, “Automatic for the People” and “Out of Time.” I stopped listening to their new music after the release of their album titled “Monster.” They released numerous hits over the years. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of listening to their music. Coincidentally, one of my all time favorite songs is titled “Photograph.” It was a song that Michael Stipe and Natalie Merchant performed together.
31 years is a very long time for a band to stay together. I hope I’ll be employable for that many years. Michael Stipe’s networth is estimated to be at least $75 million. Between their savings and their residual income from their music they should be fine financially. I’m sure they’ll continue their political and social activism for many years to come.
