"The band’s revitalization is most evident in Michael Stipe. Wearing an Obama shirt that he prevalently displayed amidst the sea of flashing camera lights, he sang with the passion of a 24 year old."

"Stipe said that he was voting for a candidate that provided hope rather than one that tells him what he already fears."

He recognizes that running for president is an opportunity to inspire an entire nation."
