Great Song

I heard this song on the radio today, and what an unexpected treat it was (probably the first time I've heard it over the airwaves since way back in the mid-eighties). In the wake of their recent breakup, R.E.M.'s early days have been getting a lot of retrospective attention, and deservedly so. I actually heard this for the first time when they appeared at Springfest (or was it Fallfest?) at the University of Buffalo a month or so before Fables of the Reconstruction came out-- what a dynamite show they put on that day, one of the most memorable I've ever seen.
