Really enjoying this - “The name of this band is R.E.M. - a biography” by Peter Ames Carlin.

As an old diehard fan club member from the days when you signed up via snail mail & got rare goodies back in the post, this is packed with joyfully deep trivia.

Such as “Lester Bangs birthday party jelly bean boom!” (Lyric from “It’s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)”) turning out to be recalling details of a memorable trip to NYC! 😄😎
