Take a Break Driver 8


I was sad to hear the news this week that the members of R.E.M. are folding the band. I'll leave it to those who know far more about music to discuss their legacy. (Bill Wyman has an interesting piece on that subject in Slate.) I just know that for three decades I enjoyed their music tremendously.  I also appreciated that the guys from Athens, Ga., always did things their own way.
