Oh no... The best gig I've ever been to was when REM played in Helsinki three years ago. It was raining like there was no tomorrow but they gave their all and then some. (I'm still incensed at the idiot who stole one of their guitars somehow.)

TBH I thought they broke up years ago..

So, how long untill we hear of a reunion tour and album...

You won't have to worry about it. Old songs never die, they just get remade, and into bastardized techno stuff.
