I was 16 and me and this girl was walking around outside, we didn't even know who REM were. This dude came up and try to scalp tickets. We said no, because we didn't have any money. Then you could hear the place start to get noisy inside and cars honking outside, so he got angry that he didn't sell the tickets, so he just gave them to us and left. We went in and snuck down to floor level, 20 rows back!! It was this show!!!!! It was AMAZING!!!!!

?? This had nothing to do with any action taken over agent orange. I doubt anyone who listened even cared about the soldiers. REM fans are just entitled rich kids who thought this made them edgy when they were in college. Now they ARE the people they were supposedly railing against back then. How pathetic. I make a good living but I never bought into this 'alternative' fake movement that REM were the poster boys for. I bet they love their piles of money they made criticizing everyone else who made money.

@dudewithacowboyhat76202 ай бұрын
He often will take them off before performing. I am assuming he didn’t do so that time but wanted to take them off halfway through. At 2:39 there’s a break in his playing, and you seen him walk back, and then the next time the cameras on him the glasses are gone. I assume he just went and sat them somewhere, or put them in his pocket. Typical Mike Mills to play without his glasses😂

So brave mocking the sacrifice of those who were stupid enough to say yes to their countries ask for service. REM are not really great guys. Good song musically, but that mocking of the Army by Stipe was uncalled for and really shows him to be the dork that he is.

I mean, I'd say sending soldiers to another country for a war in another continent, where the only thing to lose was a country being commie, and ultimately losing it's bad. Let's not forget, the last time the US Military actually did something useful was in WW2, after that they've only made every single country they fight worse.
