The band took to their website to announce the split: “To our Fans and Friends: As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band.

They had been threatening it for a while, and they finally followed through. Comedy Central roasted Charlie Sheen on Monday – the same night as the much-hyped Two and a Half Men premiere on CBS. As with most roasts, there were some really hilarious moments, and some really “uh, did they just say that” moments (I’m talking to you Amy Schumer).

So, first a crazy random air-raid siren went off near my house this morning, and now I’m writing a post about the musical trio, Hanson. AND I’m going to see them in concert this evening. I do believe this could be a sign of the end….. While I’m the first to admit that I am not a fan of the brothers (I don’t necessarily dislike them either, however – I was just “beyond” them in age when they hit the scene), I do enjoy live music and they’re...  Read More »
