I remember True West covering "20th Century Boy."
And the Replacements, of course.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Punishingly Intricate
At my first REM in '84 the sound guy told me I looked "just like Courteney Cox. The girl in the Bruce Springsteen video." Who was, he said, a friend of his. I never forget a compliment no matter how untrue or lame.
I think the dBs played Lionel Ritchie's "All Night Long" at my show and REM came out to jam with them on it. But it's possible I'm wildly mis-remembering. I'll have to check with my friend who went to the show with me.

Peter Buck would come out and jam with people constantly, whether they wanted him to or not.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I'm too ashamed to admit my first REM show was in 1995, Milwaukee. But then I saw them again in Chicago that year, and then in 1999 and then in 2003 and then in 2004 ... so yeah, I'm caught up now.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Me, neither.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Well, there's no use going now since they're old and boring. However, I'll still stand by my statement that R.E.M. in '83 was about the best concert I ever saw.
