  • I heard someone explain this song as being about the holocaust. Makes total sense in context with the lyrics.

  • The best time of REM , early IRS days

  • @scootre22: Yeah for the worse too.

  • @versioncity1 OH THAT MAKES pretty good sense. Thanks man! :D

  • love the glasses. 

  • @k12274

    I'm not american, but its very "Kerouac" if you know what I mean. Boxcars are what yanks call freight trains, the hobos or tramps would ride on them for free to wherever they were going. The railways would have guards to try and stop the hobos hitching a lift - "gentlemen don't get caught" - anyway thats my interpretation (for what its worth) - and its early REM, so pretty enigmatic......

  • Sorry, this is not 1985, more like 1983. Great video, though.

  • I think the year is wrong.

  • Wow MTV The Grind for geeks . Lets party !!!! Spring Break!!!!! Oh no my laptops buggered !!!!

  • Julia Fleury sent me here!!! I've watched this clip a hundred times & still can't get enough of it... x
