Our guest for this episode is Robert Dean Lurie, author of the book Begin the Begin: REM's Early Years, an excellent in-depth exploration of REM's genesis and the Athens scene that nurtured so many amazing bands. Robert was a student at the University of Georgia in the early 90s and saw firsthand the excitement of living in a small town that was also the home to a superstar band. Robert tells of his connection to REM's "Fall On Me." Will brings "Good Advices" to compliment Robert's pick, and Chris closes it out with "Around the Sun."
