Peter Ames Carlin is here to discuss his new book, The Name of This Band is R.E.M., his background as a fledgling musician and culture writer, developing lovely rapports with Brian Wilson and Bruce Springsteen but not so much with Paul Simon, why he wanted to write a definitive book about the rather private R.E.M. and why they chose to participate only from a distance, the quiet manner in which R.E.M. broke up and also why they seem to be popping up a lot these days, Carlin’s forthcoming book about Springsteen, other future plans, and much more.
