You're an idiot. Quite obvious.

I don't think Michael will return to singing (not anytime soon), but robbbin does have a point
when he talks about "taking pics of architraves and carpet"

Well I for one hope they get back together at somepoint!  They've said alot of things in the past that they said they'd never do, like make music videos to suit MTV and they did, they said they weren't bothered about money but they signed a huge record deal.  I'm glad they did all those things they siad they'd never do because if they hadn't they wouldn't have been in my life for almost 20 years, and for them to perform as a band agian someday would make me one of the happiest people in the world because at the moment I am heart broken and to have hope that they will get back together makes me just a little bit happier :)

Yeah, they contradicted them all the time. Something a good artist virtually does on a daily basis.

But still... the decision to end a work like R.E.M. is something different as a growing pop sensibility in the 90's for example.

Not necessarily.
Michael's pics are just not as good as his songs, that's all

They are surprisingly up to date in discourse they touch.

NO.

If I took ten of Stipes pics and posted them here under my name, you would say what a lot of shit. If stipe posted the same thing you would be cooing and seeing all kinds of abstract representations of cubist realism.

If Stipe posted the rubbish that he does under a pseudonym no one would look at it.

Its all in the name.

He is making a scuplture inspired by ..............his looking at Cornices. WIOW

I came aacross a youtube video called R.E.M @ the bbc the other day where Mike actually says he 'probably' won't play with R.E.M again!! I was surprised 'cause I thought they were all in full-on 'it's over' mode. Michael was when he and Mike appeared on Newsnight.

I could see them doing something like Talking Heads done and rejoin for a one-time-only show.........

I doubt R.E.M. breakup isn't permanent.
