I'm fascinated by uber-footnotes in history; either in pictures (ie. who's the woman in the picture they always show kneeling over the body at Kent State?) or otherwise (Raymond Jones walking into the NEMS shop and asking Brian Epstein for the "My Bonnie" single, which made Epstein curious about The Beatles) Who are these people? Has anyone ever interviewed them? That should be a whole book, interviews with these footnote people.
I wonder who the "band playing upstairs" was? 🤔 🤷♂️
Also, Mike Mills of all people playing this just reminds us how much of R.E.M.s unique sound was based around Peter Buck's guitar playing naturally give Mills, the better musician, space to really let his bass do a lot of the heavy lifting.
