Greenest Musicians: REM
REM and their illustrious frontman Michael Stipe are well known for their tree-hugging ways. Among their contributions: Stipe hosted '97 environmental video Connect; the band's song "Until the Day is Done" was featured in "Planet in Peril," a four-hour CNN documentary about global environmental crises; they are closely affiliated with Greenpeace and were featured on the org's "Alternative NRG" cd. And Simpsons fans might remember the band in the episode "Homer the Moe," when the group makes a Thanksgiving "turkey" out of tofu and wheat gluten. Cartoon Stipe then gets angry at Homer and smashes a bottle, to which the band members yell, "Michael, no!...It's not the REM way." Michael, disgusted at himself, replies, "You're right...let's recycle these shards and get out of here."Skip Ahead
