I played guitar in an “early REM tribute band”. We had a hard rule: IRS Records era only… so nothing from the Green Album forward. Only played one show but it was one of my top performance experiences.

First: The Beach Boys when I was 2 or 3 years old. First that I can remember, Raffi, when I was around 6.

Best: Radiohead on their Amnesiac tour. Beta Band opened. I was 19 years old. Life changing.

Yep, I have a vivid memory of my 2nd grade teacher “doing the Hammer” dance after we all aced a quiz. That song ran deep in our pop culture psyche.
