R.E.M.! Chicago! Today is the day!
Oh, this day has finally come! The day my sister and I will tool around and reminisce in Chicago, feast on the best tacos in the world (so I’ve heard), and tickle our souls and earbuds at the R.E.M. concert. Let’s see if I’m ready…
Coffee - check!
Concert tickets - check!
Weaver D’s “Automatic for the People” t-shirt - check!
Map of Chicago - check!
All the R.E.M. albums I own - check!
Goofy giddy grin - check!
I think that’s everything I need. I’m hittin’ the road!!

I was at the R.E.M. concert on Friday in Chicago as well.
The good… IGNORELAND (song of the night, by a mile), Find The River, I’m Gonna DJ, Let Me In and Horse to Water (the best of the new songs). Also, The National were very, very good.
The bad… For a band that can be so inventive, I do not understand why they continue to play The One I Love, Orange Crush and Losing My Religion. They need to be brave and challenge the public - this is what R.E.M. has always done with their records and they should do it more live. Modest Mouse was simply awful. For the life of me, I don’t see what people think is so great about that band.
