it would help if the band would at least take a break. I'm a big fan ("Nightswimming") but even I get tired of seeing and hearing them.

Good, yes, but not the "greatest"! Self-love is a wonderful thing.

The greatest band on Earth? Who the hell does this guy think he is? The next coming of Christ? Well, I suppose all of those psychodelic drugs that REM has done, over the years, has affected their brains and the way they think. It also appears that this REM musician has a "God Complex."

You had more than most people ever had. Be grateful, don't look at what you don't have. You have three square meals over your head, right. Some of us don't even have the money get that luxery. But we still have to look at what we do have. Get over it and move on.
