I loved my 17 years with R.E.M. but I'm ready to reflect assess and move on to a different phase of my life. The four of us will continue our close friendship and I look forward to hearing their future efforts as the world's biggest R.E.M. fan.
I learned that we can do anything but we can't do everything... at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do but when you do them. Timing is everything.
