    Wow!  First time all four together on a stage in almost 17 years.  Where does the time go?!

    Ugh. I thought about tickets to this. Course I would have been stuck home sick.

    So cool. 40 Watt is a great place.

    Is that name connected in anyway to the band, 40 Watt Moon?

    Hmm, I’m not sure. The sign at the back of the stage is literally a hanging 40 watt light bulb painted on wood.

    Edit: Okay, here is the info! First related to the Athens band Pylon.

    Ever go to Athens, try it out! Highly recommend the Drive By Truckers Homecoming shows every February or March.

    Very cool connection there to Pylon! 
    I don't travel much these day, but if I were ever to go to Athens, I would check it out!  I would love to have been able to spend time back in the early to mid 80s in places like Athens, GA and Winston Salem NC, etc., and check out all those cool early 80's bands like early R.E.M., Pylon, Let's Active, The dBs, etc.  That was a time and place rich in great music!

    Not quite R.E.M.. but at least half anyway.  Here's a cool song from a group attributed to The Minus 5.  But is it?  I don't think so.  No Steve Wynn.  Linda Pitmon on drums has never been an official member.  Neither has R.E.M. bassist Mike Mill seen here.  But in any case, what the heck, we do have Buck, Mills, and R.E.M. adjunct member Scott McCaughey here, and it's a great tune!

    I was a bigger R.E.M. fan when I was younger. 
    I sort of lost interest in them as I got older. I recently went back and started listening to them again.

    Great interview. I was lucky to see them many times in their prime. I have Reckoning on IRS vinyl.

    Felt bad for Bill, but if he's healthy and happy, that's what counts.

    It's so cool to see the four of them together!  I wish we could see the whole interview instead of the one edited for people with attention spans that are limited to 5 seconds.

    I have so much respect for those four people.  Great musician/songwriters and really fine human beings.  They deserve all those accolades!

    Whoa! I’m sure it was amazing.

    Finally watched the interview. Bill Berry’s answer also choked me up, and was surprising.

    What a band.

    First time these four have played together in (I think this is right) 17 years!

    Cool to see.  But likelyhood of any more seems incredibly small from interviews they’ve given this week.

    Forget touring, but wouldn't it be cool if they recorded one final album with Bill Berry.
