For years, the most often repeated question “Mountain Stage” said they heard was “when is REM going to play Mountain Stage again?”
Well, the answer currently is probably never. The band broke up (well, so they say… I say they’re on hiatus for a few years then will come back out –much like the Rolling Stones, but whatever).
Anyway, in the event REM never gets back together and never plays Mountain Stage again, last night might have been an okay consolation prize. Mike Mills from REM joined Drive By Truckers front man Patterson Hood on stage for a Mountain Stage show in Athens, Georgia.
If you’re an REM fan, that’s pretty exciting stuff. Here’s the link to REMHQ.
The show will be aired sometime in April. Details will probably be posted on “Mountain Stage’s” website eventually.
