Yeah just a random question about the politics of REM. Are they just liberal greens or are they a bit more progressive?
I only pick up bits of lyrics to "The end of the world", but I always notice that there's some right-winger being called a bastard, and being as liberals are just too nice that they'd make the editor of the Guardian look like Jazzratt, I'd wager that there's more to them.

I have maximum respect for Michael Stipe for 'apologising on behalf of America' whenever Bush got re-elected.

They're liberals, support the Dumbocrats.
