A _very_ concise and less-than-knowledgeable outline of some of the band's feats until 1992, from an author who obviously never met the guys, let alone conducted an original interview.
I recommend Marcus Gray's much better “R.E.M. companion“ that incidentally came out in the same year. 2 stars for the photos and the list of tour dates (yes, I'm aware that today you can find them everywhere on the net, but for those who remember: that was not so back in the early 90s!) ( )
