It looks like REM is behaving like the Dixie Chicks in England.

I own NO music by REM, nor will I start....Stipes "sings" like someone with a very bad head cold, even when you ignore his political leanings

I would be proud to have Michael Stipe remain in Mexico as our ambassador of goodwill forever.

Go Try This, Go Ahead - I Dare You! If you have a Death Wish!



Enter Mexico illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas, international law, or any of that nonsense.

Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family.

Demand bilingual nurses and doctors.

Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc. Procreate abundantly.

Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive behavior with,"It is a cultural United States thing. You would not understand, pal."

Keep your American identity strong. Fly Old Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window or on your car bumper.

Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children do likewise.

Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system.

Demand a local Mexican driver license. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal, presence in Mexico.

Insist that local Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its officers.

Good luck! You'll be demanding for the rest of time or soon dead. Because it will never happen.

It will not happen in Mexico or any other country in the world... Except right here. Land of the naive.

God Bless America--She needs it.

The ego overruns.

He has no ability to apologize for those who have not authorized him. Bunch of arrogant jackasses.

That's just soooo funny.

I'm beginning to wonder if Stipe and Bono are butt buddies.

We're bad neighbors? Who's trespassing into who's backyard and taking everything not nailed down?

Michael Stipe apologized in the name of the American people

Not in the name of this American person... nor in the name of many like-minded people with whom I associate!

On behalf of Michael Stipes and everyone associated with R.E.M., I would like to apologize to the good people of the United States of America for the band's audacity in claiming to speak for the nation.

If he can apologize for me, I can apologize for him.

...said the tall singer...

Is that true - the guy is tall? I always thought he was a short little bugger.

Was Stipe appointed Secretary of State? Right. I didn't thought so. Give a man a microphone and he loses proportion of himself so quick... Sheesh.

Someone needs to make a translation of the entire article. Not sure exactly what he is apologizing for or if he is actually apologizing?
