    I’m in the back seat of my buddy’s car, hammered, tired, waiting while he fills the tank in some east St Louis gas station after a night at the strip clubs.
    "You're in the back seat laying down
    The windows wrap around
    To sound of the travel and the engine"
    I digress…..I am told he has a new cassette I’m going to like, it just came out. Radio Free Europe starts….and….well, as they say, the rest is history. I’ve been hooked ever since! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting a couple of the band members at various shows, both of which I claim as personal highlights.

    Back in the mid-to-late 90's when I was a kid, I believe Automatic for the People was the first album I ever owned. I think my dad gave me this for my birthday, or for a "just because" present. Either way, it was a gift I will never forget. I was never a big fan of music before then. Sure I liked it, but the first time I played Automatic for the People from start to finish (remember when people still did this?) was the first time I truly loved music. R.E.M. is a band I will always love and it's because of this album.

    In May 2008 I was a month away from graduating High School and I had the worst flu ever. My mom and I saw R.E.M at the Hollywood Bowl and nothing was going to stop me from going. Of course it was a beautiful Los Angeles evening and I remember a few songs in, everyone began yelling for them to turn the volume up. I tried to soak everything in, and huddled on the bench I kept hoping they would play Man on the Moon. I was hearing all the songs I loved but I remember being so sad that they weren't going to play one of my personal favorites.
