All music in this episode by R.E.M. off of their 1984 album Reckoning, released on I.R.S. Records.

• “Second Guessing”
• “Rockville (Don’t Go Back To)”

Notes:

Our interview with musician and writer Robert Dean Lurie continues. We talked to him before his book singing at the Mansion on O in D.C. In today’s episode, Robert reveals a story he’s held onto for over 20 years regarding the meaning behind R.E.M.‘s name. He also presents evidence to back it up.
