REM will continue to exist. It's like the past never goes away. There will be reissues, and we'll have to worry about extra content, so it's not like REM never existed. It'll still be something going forward, it just won't be a recording or touring entity. Show less «

It was impossible for people to see new records in their own light. We understand that, of course. Everyone is going to compare your work to your earlier work.

The band that you loved when you were 16 to 28 is never going to affect you in the same way when you're 45 or 50. Show less «
