I heard about the breakup from Jeff Ament. He talked about how big of an influence they were.

I was a big fan in the 80s, and like a lot of people, didn't like the direction they took in the 90s. I wish I had seen them live.

Cool little tribute by Eddie Vedder at the show last night by playing It Happened Today. Definitely the first band I really got into in high school, in fact Out of Time was bought for me by a cute chick I was into back then. I reminded her last night, when I got home from the concert.

Jason & the Scorchers

I was completely surprised at the breakup of REM. As most of y'all know, we shared a lot of stages, after show parties, tortured sleeps on each other's floors, and stream of consciousness early 80s moments with those folks. They were and are my favorite American rock band. More importantly, I never knew more generous people. Yes they did play the music business game to win, but they did it with humanity and a sense of team. They were never about beating anyone, it was all about shared successes and glories.

In a strange full circle, the day before they announced the breakup I recorded a duet with Mike Mills for the new Farmer Jason record. He was totally cool, as always. I will always love that band. God bless them.

Jason
