    R.E.M.’s Children Still Hoping Parents Will Get Back Together

    R.E.M.’s Children Still Hoping Parents Will Get Back Together



    PORTLAND, OR—Claiming they are still struggling to accept their parents’ split-up, the children of seminal alternative rock band R.E.M. revealed Friday that they continue to hope their parents’ band will one day reconcile. “I just don’t understand why they can’t be happy together like they were before, when things were good,” said Zoe, daughter of guitarist Peter Buck, echoing the thoughts of Julian Mills and Zelda Buck, who just want their parents in the acclaimed jangle pop group to get back together in the studio. “I asked my dad if it was our fault that they broke up and he said, ‘No, honey, of course not. Sometimes adult Gen X musicians just don’t get along.’ But it hurts. I just want it to be like it was on the Monster tour again.” At press time, the members of R.E.M. reassured the children that, no matter what, they would always be the 1992 Grammy Award winners for Best Alternative Music Album

    Does Hondo write for the Onion?

      It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
      In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand
      Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
      Pray for me, momma, I'm a gypsy now

        Does it say anywhere in the article "and their music was complete shit"? No? Then you know I didn't write it.

          But on a deadly serious note, ABBA may reunite.

            Abba is greatness.

              The thread is sick..

              seriously
              Robert Francis O'Rourke, Democrat, White guy, spent ~78 million to defeat, Ted Cruz, Republican immigrant Dark guy …
              and lost …
              But the Republicans are racist.

                I always liked them... but I don't know how much I will if they're singing their old songs, while in their 60's. Maybe if they put out a bunch of new ones dealing with appropriate issues for their season in life - like maybe the bratty grand kids, daughters and sons in-law problems, health care issues, digestive problems, etc. Could be a new gold mine for if they just get the new album advertised on the Fox News Channel.

                  That, was funny.

                    I get to do this because I spent a year on a walker...
                    ♬You can't dance, you can't jive, unless you shatter your ... spleeeeeeennnn
                    See that broad, watch that scene, diggin' the walker queen

                    Friday night and the lights are low
                    Looking out to not fall down
                    Where they play the loud music, kids get off my lawn
                    You come in to look for BINGO

                    Anybody could be that guy
                    Senior discount before it's ... fiiiiivvvve
                    With a bit of rock music, hearing aid is fine
                    You don't dare try to dance
                    And when you get the chance...

                    You are the walker queen, old and frail, only eighty-two
                    Walker queen, worry about your Depends leaking!
                    You can't dance, you can't jive, worrying about your bed time
                    See that broad, watch that scene, diggin' the walker queen

                    You're a hobbler, they think you'll fall
                    Leave them worried and then you're gone
                    Looking out for wet spots, careful not to fall
                    You do not dare try to dance
                    And when you get the chance...

                    You are the walker queen, old and frail, only eighty-two
                    Walker queen, worry about your Depends leaking!
                    You can't dance, you can't jive, worrying about your bed time
                    See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the walker queen!♬

                      You're going to hell for that, Adam. I'll save you a spot in the handbasket.
