WPBH’s morning talk show has been the wake-up call some mornings, Tupac the mornings when Terrance, our former dishwasher, was here, and Limp Bizkit the mornings when our manager Chip is awakened at 5:30 a.m. by a call from John, the breakfast cook, saying that he can’t make it. It’s the music that keeps everyone going in the morning, and the kitchen is never silent...

Stipe must have that backward, because those cheesy, minutely talented, built-in-a-corporate-boardroom flavors of the moment are the ones that can't meet the quality of R.E.M. Twenty years from now, R.E.M. will still be remembered as one of the greatest bands in rock-'n'-roll history, while Limp Bizkit and Britney will have long been relegated to "Where Are They Now?" status.
