...thread about the 30th anniversary of R.E.M's Out of Time album.
Guess there aren't any shiny happy people in this place.
Anyway, here's a SNL rehearsal of that song that I enjoy. https://youtu.be/f7QgsixRWNw

Some crazy English guy from
Some crazy English guy from Manchester staying at my hotel in Dahab, Egypt in 92 who had paranoid eyes and said he was in a mental institution there for a spell was complaining about shiny happy people. I guess when that song was popular. I was nice to him out of fear mostly because I thought he might harm me if I wasn't kind . But also I had compassion and sympathy for him. He had issues. I remember him saying everyone looked at him like he was crazy. Obvious paranoid personality.

Not much for anniversaries, but I'd be very excited about an REM reunion. I'd travel a great distance for such a thing.

It was a monster album, Lance. People celebrate anniversaries of lesser things all the time. At least, imo, this album is worth remembering/celebrating.

I luv REM! Might have gotten
I luv REM! Might have gotten picked up by Stipe in 83 as I was hitchhiking after buying LSD in Balboa Park. Was hitchhiking on Ventura Blvd. to get back home in Woodland Hills where I lived. Whoever picked me up was driving a small pickup and I drank a beer with him whilst driving as he had some. I'm pretty sure it was him. Curly kinda long hair at the time.
But I could be wrong.

Green World Tour - 4/20/1989; went to the Spectrum show solo, one of less than a handful of shows, I went to that year.
i contracted the measles, which were nonexistent here around that time, My MD diagnosed me with a rash.
The future Mrs. Voodoo and future RN saw me and said my MD was a quack, I had measles.
It was years later when I discovered this paper http://mchc.net/wp-content/uploa...
that it was confirmed and I found out I was at ground zero for the measles outbreak about to occur.
Great time, good show... worth the measles

I actually prefer their "Monster" album, from 3 years later.
I stopped really caring about REM after New Adventures in Hi-Fi, which is the last one I recall. I recall really liking that one at the time. If I were to just go pull one to play, Monster. Loud.

R.E.M's albums are a strange
R.E.M's albums are a strange mix of songs for the most part. Each album has at least 2 killer songs and 2 that make you think. I got to see them a handful of times when they were on the cusp of breaking big and came away from each show with a grin on my face. If I were to pick a favortie album, it would probably be Document followed closely by Out Of Time. When of my fondest concert moments live was during the Work Tour (support of Document) at Radio City Music Hall in 1987. I doubt I will ever see another show that the audience was so into again. Hell, there were times the audience was so loud that I though I might be at a Beatles show. All night long the stage had bras thrown onto it and even the band was a little taken back by that. The night I went had a great cover of Lou Graham's Midnight Blue. In my opinion that was the peak of their creativity. after that they might have become more popular but that X factor wasn't there to the extent it was for the Work Tour.
As a side note to the video I posted above of their SNL rehearsal, I can't help but remember how damn cute and how wonderful of a voice Kate Pierson of the B-52's is.
