Didn't REM reach its nadir some years back, around 92-93?
I don't know how much "Up" sold, but I doubt it was a big
seller compared to "Green" or "Out Of Time." At this point
in the game, I know I'd rather hear Cat Power open for
Patti than REM (maybe that's cause I've seen REM over
the years, over and over..). I kinda gave up on them
a while back. They used to market nice T-shirts as I
recall. Standing in the place where I live, facing
west, David
