R.E.M. fan since the summer of 1985, when I first heard “Can’t Get There From Here” on my mom’s car radio.

I saw the band perform 4 times:
20 April 1989 - The Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA
5 September 1999 - Blockbuster-Sony Music Entertainment Centre At The Waterfront, Camden, NJ
1 October 2003 - The Liacouras Center, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA
18 June 2008 - The Mann Center For The Performing Arts, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, PA
