R.E.M. playing Begin The Begin at the 40 Watt Club, Sept. 12, 2006. A benefit for Community Connection. Lots of Athens bands covered all R.E.M. songs. Right after this, REM recorded #9 Dream in a studio in Athens.
Michael Stipe has ties to Athens. It's a small town where everybody knows everybody else. You can meet him shopping at Publix or Lowes or Walmart. It's not a big deal. Georgia is pretty laid back so his neighbors view him as a local boy made good. He's well respected and I think he's cool.

It's common knowledge around Athens that he owns several houses in that area. he can be seen walking the streets, people don't hassle him.
