My good buddy of many, many, many years asked me yesterday if I knew that Side A said 'Fables of the Reconstruction' and that Side B says 'Reconstruction of the Fables'. Yes, I do. I wore that vinyl out when I was 15. It's a part of my soul. R.E.M. was my favorite band, and Fables is my favorite record by them. Although, as I've said a few times to @jake4480 and @HailsandAles , 'Reckoning' has probably become more important to me now...

The prompt is Horrible
R.E.M. “Man on the Moon” from Automatic For The People, 1992
Lyrics:
Moses went walking with the staff of wood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Newton got beaned by the apple good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Egypt was troubled by the horrible asp
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Charles Darwin had the gall to ask
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
On Automatic for the People, #REM continued with acoustic artistry rivaling that achieved on their masterpiece “Losing My Religion" paired with offbeat subject matter - here, the late actor/performance artist #AndyKaufman, embracing the question raised by Kaufman's performance, and his very life: What is real?
Throughout the song #MichaelStipe sketches vignettes from Kaufman’s professional life, but in the lyrics quoted above, Stipe invokes biblical and historical scientific figures; is he elevating Kaufman to their stature, or just demonstrating his signature non sequitur technique?
The best thing about this #REM biography is reading about live performance recordings that I never knew existed.
Here’s one that was performed live from West Virginia for public radio in 1991 — a limited CD now available to all thanks to the Internet Archive.

Reckoning
Album #2 from R.E.M. released on April 9, 1984. It's produced by Mitch Easter and Don Dixon who both wanted to capture the essence of the R.E.M. live performance with the album. The critics loved the album and Reckoning reached number 27 in the United States—where it was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1991—and peaked at number 91 in the United Kingdom.

We still need musicians who’ll do stunts like this.
In 1991, #REM was nominated for nine MTV video music awards. Michael Stipe came prepared with nine political t-shirts, but when they won for “Losing My Religion”, he had to get through as many of those shirts on camera at once as he could.
Later, the band signed them all and donated them to appropriate political causes to auction off.

Les travaux du tunnel du mont Royal sont en effet en grande partie terminés et le mois dernier, les premières voitures du REM y ont circulé. Le tunnel du mont Royal est le point central du réseau, reliant par exemple le centre-ville de Montréal à Laval et Deux-Montagnes en près de 30 minutes!
✅Dès avril et jusqu'à la mise en service, des voitures passeront progressivement sur les voies, afin de nous permettre de tester le REM et ses composantes dans une multitude de situations. #REMmtl #Montreal
