I’ll add a quick memory here - this one came back to me as I was listening to my favorite progressive/alternative rock radio station this weekend, and the featured artist of the day was REM. I remember going to see them our freshman year - before I really even had heard much of their usic. They did a great concert, although the acoustics of the hockey rink were less than stellar (and Michael Stipe was in his “mumbling” phase). As we were walking back up Spring Street much later that night, the band’s bus was pulling out of town. We realized it was them and were then totally surprised to see them waving enthusiastically at us. It always made me think that they were probably a kind of down to earth band. I love that we were able to see some really top acts at Williams - Ray Charles, REM, etc. Not bad for a little school out in the boonies!
