I was all set to do a post tonight about R.E.M. and their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I would perhaps even mention that they recorded a single with Bill Berry that’s going on sale tomorrow to benefit the efforts in Darfur. But the organizers apparently decided to have R.E.M. close the show, and they haven’t even begun to induct the band yet. So maybe all that will wait until tomorrow. If I have the energy, I’ll come back and edit this post after the ceremony’s over.
