R.E.M : So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry) ((live at "Later" with Jools Holland, 27.10.98)

R.E.M. quotes

I stopped taking drugs [in 1983]. There were a lot of things that led up to it. One thing was that a lover died. An ex of mine died in a car wreck and I was really trashed when I found out about it and I couldn't cry. I woke up the next morning and I said, "That's it," so I quit then. It was horrible.
