The band may or may not get the chance to go mano-a-mano with Stephen Colbert, after all, it wouldn’t be fair since they outnumber him 3 to 1, but R.E.M. will most certainly be on the CR next Wednesday, April 2nd, the day after the domestic release of ACCELERATE. The Colbert Report airs M-F, 11:30PM ET. Visit The Colbert Report for more information about the show.
