This is Remring 2.0, a brand new site featuring the same band (R.E.M.) but from scratch.

My name is Eric Zimmermann and for the last couple years I have been trying to put words and phrases on these pages as a method to explore my R.E.M. fandom for the past 2 decades. I cannot claim to be objective but only me, for the trials and tribulations in being a fan of any band is not just an exploration of their music but yourself.

If you stay around, you will be offered news, reviews, articles, a song or two and possibly a deeper understanding for Michael, Mike, Peter and sometimes Bill.

I have one rule and that is if you read these pages I would hope that you are a fan. The question that I want to leave you with is why?
