R.E.M. has called out Donald Trump and Ted Cruz after Trump used the band’s 1987 song “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” at Wednesday’s Tea Party Stop the Iran Deal rally in Washington, D.C., which Cruz also spoke at. R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe told the Republican presidential candidates, “Go fuck yourselves, the lot of you—you sad, attention-grabbing, power-hungry little men,” in a quote emailed to The Daily Beast. We look at the band’s response on the Lip News with Mark Sovel and Elliot Hill.
