[Go4Broke]

No idea they were from or lived in MN.

If you haven't heard the song they wrote in Roswell, NM, where they were stranded for 10 days when their van broke down - here it is. Apparently, it's become something of an anthem for the City of Roswell.

[Blizzard]

The Eaglebrook Church houseband cover of Freebird. I was there for this one. It's good:

Top 5 REM Covers, IMO

1. Crazy / Pylon

2. Superman / The Clique

3. Have You Ever Seen the Rain / CCR

4. Wall of Death / Richard Thompson

5. First We Take Manhattan / Leonard Cohen

Michael Shannon and I agree, Crazy by Pylon is our favorite REM Cover.
