A has-been folk-rock wimp making a threat to leave the country?
This would be devastating to our cultural being! Almost as bad as if one of the stars of Doogie Howser threatened to go!
BTW, remember when McCain was the darling of the Left, to prove they were "open-minded"? Now he's suddenly turned into Hitler.

All the motivation in the world to vote for McCain then.
I wonder if he would take all of his crappy music with him.

Please do Michael. Don't forget to mention to our soldiers and the families of soldiers that sacrificed their lives to make our country safer, and the world safer, and to take on those that killed thousands of US citizens all it really took to move on from the horror of mass murder on September 11, 2001 was putting a Democrat in the seat of the President (Although one could make a good argument that actually helped encourage 9/11/01 success, but that is another post). How silly of us all to not know it was just that simple. /sarc.
Heck why wait for the election results to move? Please move now. I can safely dispense of every tape, CD, or MP3 I have bought over the years. REM used to be one of my favorites. Gracefully I leave behind the angst of my youth and my wonder of your great moments of poetry as I can see now you are really just more of the same. I am just sad my hard earned money helped you to live so well.Bye bye!
