The End of R.E.M.

Amnesty International believes that human right abuses anywhere are the concern of people everywhere. 


R.E.M. announced today that have broken up after 31 years together.  R.E.M. is best know for pioneering american alternative music and rock social activism.  Who can forget the 1991 MTV Music Video Award when Michael Stipe wore a half a dozen different T-shirts with slogan including "rainforest", "love knows no colors", and "handgun control now".  Stipe believed that he could use his rock status to raise the world awareness to social and political injustice.  



"A wise man once said, ‘The skill in attending a party is knowing when it’s time to leave,’ " - Michael Stipe 


The End of R.E.M. and they feel fine.
