The REM Collective Imagination; imprecise,wandering,multi-them
ed. Prospective apprehension of an untested individual riding the Interstate on a second hand tour bus, awaiting the first trial of their talents in a Northern Nevada Lounge...or a long,tortuous,languid Airline flight; anticipating union with your karmic soul-mate in a discounted but decent Hotel Room subsidized by lost wages & diminished dreams. A rendezvous that mere geography, time or personal circumstance can prevent any longer. -
A song that suggests much more than it REVEALS. An example of an anthem whose stature expands in meaning/impact with repeated listens & the luxury of time. An ethereal, semi-comforting, soaring allegory. While Hollywood, New York or Las Vegas would be the typical Title destinations for so many writers relating a tale of the intentions, hopes & aspirations of so many artists,performers, gamblers or dreamers; REM spins the palette by staging the apologue in "The Biggest Little City in America.

This is the only video I've seen where both top comments are actually great, meaningful responses instead of cheap jokes or one-liners.

Humming All the way to Reno You've dusted the non believers And challenge the laws of chance Now, sweet You were so sugar sweet You may as well have 'kick me' Fastened on your sleeve You know what you are You're gonna be a star. You know what you are You're gonna be a star

I believe it's 'dusted the non-believers, and challenged the laws of chance'
"Just a few non-believers, challenging the laws of chance"
And so we moved to Reno.....what a truly great place.
