It's the end of R.E.M. as we know it.

R.E.M. announced they were dis-banding this week. In this (pretty good) article by Bill Wyman (ex Rolling Stones bassist), he points to the (pretty bad) "It's the End of the World" music video by R.E.M. I thought it was recently made by some kids, but it is the original. "What's the deal with the portrait?" I wondered. So I went searching. Here's a (pretty good) article about the kid in the film and its (pretty bad) making.
