Sad news about REM - what's your view on their break up?

[redpaul79]

@sixgroupsix interesting that stipe said "we" in this interview and then corrected himself and said "they" (referring to Buck and Mills)

[bernlin2000]

@sixgroupsix The end of an era, really: I expect alternative rock now to fall apart (it's been diminishing for many years now anyhow), and it'll be interesting to see where things go from here. I think we've already seen the basic framework through Lady Gaga and Danger Mouse (two very different visions, but very distinct and clear).
