"It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" is a 1987 song by American rock band R.E.M.. The title may sound pessimistic or perhaps a bit delusional. Yet, hear Kevin make the analogy as to why this song -- one of his favorites -- is a perfect theme song for capitalism, creative destruction, and rational optimism about innovation and future stock returns.
