R.E.M.

Songwriting credits (and royalties) are shared equally regardless of who wrote the song. This is one reason they have been around so long, as many bands have broken up over who gets writing credits.

Stipe produced the 1999 movie Being John Malkovich. He is often mistaken for Malkovich.

R.E.M. did two MTV "Unplugged" specials. The first was in 1991, the second in 2001.
