I was moaning about how the R.E.M. that played Friday night at Alltel Pavilion was not the same R.E.M. I once loved. My big gripe was the lack of original drummer Bill Berry.
As my buddy (?) Scott pointed out, Bill Berry WAS at the show, surprising the crowd (and apparently the band, too). He took to the skins for a few songs, too.
The crowd (and band) went wild. I would have been in heaven. Now I’m kicking myself for not making it out there.
Thanks anyway, guys!
your buddy! Slacker!
