Description
The Name of This Band is R.E.M. A Biography by Peter Ames Carlin A biography of the influential American rock band R.E.M., exploring the lives of its four founding members and the cultural context in which they created their distinctive sound. From their early days as college friends in Athens, Georgia, to their commercial peak and eventual collapse, this book delves into the fascinating story of a generation and the power of rock and roll. With a unique gift for capturing the sweep and tenor of a cultural moment, Carlin's biography offers a rich and intimate portrait of R.E.M.'s music and its impact on the world. The result is a deeply descriptive and remarkably poetic account of the commercial peak and near-total collapse of a great music era, and the story of the generation that came of age at its apotheosis.
