I decided that I want to watch ever Best Picture Oscar winner, so I started with the first.

My first concert as a young adult was Screaming Trees, Spin Doctors, and Soul Asylum at the Municipal Auditorium in New Orleans. It was during the summer before I went to college, and I went with a group of my high school friends.

Over the years that album has risen in my rankings of favorite R.E.M. albums more than any other. Yesterday was the 35th anniversary of its release.

I've always liked Monster. Never understood why it was panned so much. Maybe the world wanted Automatic II.

There's a new podcast interview with Bill Berry that's a great listen for R.E.M. fans. It's for a new podcast called In Weird Cities. https://www.facebook.com/inweirdcities/photos/a.125255589172786/125307419167603/?type=3&theater http://smarturl.it/inweirdcities?fbclid=IwAR3mShOwyiRkv2Ss2tA5GsAewf55AZOTuA8jQ_owAcDRowc0gXVMTUG1KT4

Love the video, and the song's lyrics are quite timely. Good stuff.

Damn. This year keeps getting worse.
