Yup, it’s going to be an all R.E.M. month. Despite releasing yet another disappointing post-Bill Berry album last month, I still love these guys. Even their recent albums have had a few songs worth listening to. And I really loved Up and parts of Reveal but not Accelerate or that other one that I still believe wasn’t really them.

Anywho, I’d argue that Lifes Rich Pageant was a pretty mediocre album. I remember when I got into these guys about 20 years ago and started buying these on cassette (I’m old school, y’all), this one really disappointed me somehow. BUT… BUT… I really love this song a lot. I saw the Cuyahoga River once, but sadly it wasn’t on fire. Oh to have been alive in the early 70s…
