Circa 1984
It was a Friday afternoon in Williamsburg, Virginia. The school week was over and we were ready to have a little party. My friend Amy walked over to me and slipped her hand in my pocket. She left it there for a while
She got my attention. She winked, smiled and walked away.
I reached into my pocket and there was a cassette tape with this album on it. I have been an REM fan ever since.
Today marks the 42nd anniversary of its release.








I would love to hear you opinion as well
