R.E.M. remains my favorite band (and not just for the initials). In '91, MTV (back when it still ran music videos) was promoting the hell out of Out Of Time. R.E.M. had had hits before (The One I Love got a lot of play, including dedications from lovesick imbeciles who didn't bother to listen to the actual lyrics), but nothing like Losing My Religion. Anyway, in the summer, MTV Europe announced it was running an R.E.M. Saturday -- a whole day of programming about and by R.E.M. I was in Budapest traveling around the world before starting law-firm life, and I actually checked out of my cheap pension and into a decent hotel that had MTV Europe so I could watch. I can't believe I was ever that young (or that Stipe still had so much hair).
