About The Name of This Band is R.E.M.. . .In the spring of 1980, an unexpected group of musical eccentrics came together to play their very first performance at a college party in Athens, Georgia. Within a few short years, they had taken over the world – with smash records like Out of Time, Automatic for the People, Monster and Green. Raw, outrageous, and expressive, R.E.M.’s distinctive musical flair was unmatched, and a string of mega-successes solidified them as generational spokesmen. In the tumultuous transition between the wide-open 80s and the anxiety of the early 90s, R.E.M. challenged the corporate and social order, chasing a vision and cultivating a magnetic, transgressive sound.

Deeply descriptive and remarkably poetic, steeped in 80s and 90s nostalgia, The Name of This Band is R.E.M. paints a cultural history of the commercial peak and near-total collapse of a great music era, and the story of the generation that came of age at the apotheosis of rock.

從貝爾維尤步行就可以到達西雅圖520大橋，如圖一，這裏還是個很漂亮的公園和停車場，喜歡步行走過大橋就到達西雅圖了，喜歡乘坐公交車也可以，車站就在停車場的下邊，很多車次，而且等車時間都不長，特別方便。

令人驚嘆的海鮮和有趣的氛圍肯定！讓我想起了舊金山；最好的部分是觀看街頭藝人！我遇到了一位女士，她為 Motley Cr&uuml; 的 Dr. Feel good 打鼓，非常棒！我和 4 個海鮮攤販一起吃了牡蠣射手，同時買了美味的煙燻鮭魚。沿著大道走下去，我遇到了一家賣熱巧克力餅乾的地方，上面還撒著片狀海鹽。可口的！最後，有一家土耳其經營的商店，那位女士給了我關於禮物的極好的建議，並吃了我吃過的最好的果仁蜜餅。
