From WABE in Atlanta, this is City Lights. I’m Lois Reitzes – thank you for listening. Among the contributions to the world of music from Athens, Georgia, the band REM is one of the town’s biggest – not only in terms of the fame they would go on to achieve, but in the strength of their Athens roots. A new, comprehensive biography of the band is out now by author John Hunter. Later this hour, he joins us to discuss “Maps and Legends: The Story of REM.”
