It’s What We Have

I was listening to an interview with REM the other night on NPR.  Michael Stipe and Mike Miles were in studio, talking about closing out three decades of amazing music.  I must disclose I don’t care for REM at all, but can acknowledge that their contribution to music is worthy of high praise.

Toward the end of the interview, each was asked what was next for them individually.  As the voices for most all REM songs, the two talked about how different it would be in the future not singing with each other.

Mike Miles said “It won’t be what we had, but it will be what we have.”  I thought that was a great quote.
