Loosen up, it's not supposed to be Kierkegaard.  Also, they were playing around Athens for quite a while before "Stipe and friends" even showed up.

I definitely got laid more to the B52s than REM.

Yikes! Playing B-52's right after the Beatles is a shock to the system. Could you have at least warned us? {#Arghhh}

Wow. Thanks, romeotuma - I didn't know much about the band... only that I love their fun, whimsical music. My all-time favorite song is still "Roam," but now I'm widening my borders because of what I've learned.

Love RP....

 

You are soooo welcome...  this is one of the best songs in the history of humanity...  love it...

"New York Mining Disaster 1941" and "Massachusetts" are two different songs, on two different albums by The Bee Gees.
Let's see, other state-named songs: 
"Jersey Girl" - Tom Waits
"North To Alaska" - Johnny Horton
"Pennsylvania 6-5000" - Glenn Miller

This is a great song, by the way.
