Calling All in Transit

Check out all of Michael Stipe's hair in today's classic performance from The Late Show with David Letterman circa 1983. I also love his pants. I wonder how many bands like this David has seen over the years and thinks to himself, "these guys are terrible... they'll never be heard from again." Well, if he thought that on this night in 1983, he couldn't have been more wrong as R.E.M. has endured and persevered through the years. Here is their debut single, the indecipherable "Radio Free Europe"...
