But then came Out of Time, the band's true arrival as global rock stars, riding largely on the strength of Losing My Religion, which was in constant rotation on TV and radio throughout 1991. It was the moment the band snapped into crisp pop focusand lead singer Michael Stipe stepped with somewhat more gusto into his role as frontman. Stipe led the band through twenty more years of bold experimentation, massive success, and the occasional misstepbut never insincerity. R.E.M. disbanded in 2011, and, for the last five years, Stipe has channeled his new time and energy into photography, teaching, and politics. And while his songs will almost certainly last in the cultural memory for a very long time, Stipe himself has even broader ambitions. Like living until hes a hundred and twenty, for starters. He talks to host Alec Baldwin about his long-term plans, as well as more immediate concerns, like voting. Contact: info@hotaudiobook.com
