I rem con Boris Tadic

“Well every day is different on tour, but some are more interesting than others; today was one of the particularly memorable ones: we all arrived in Belgrade after a rocking, enthused show last night in the beautiful old city of Zagreb–the band were invited to meet the Serbian President, Boris Tadic, at the Presidential Palace, and we of course jumped at the chance. It was fascinating, low-key, relatively informal, and there is a lot of common ground between the President and the band—a lot of journalists were there, as R.E.M. has a long involvement with this part of the world, even if it is our first time to actually play a show here”.

C’è chi dice che il Presidente abbia pure richiesto di suonare al loro concerto-evento belgradese di stasera “Orange Crush“, vedremo 😉
