October 6, 1992 –
33 years ago, R.E.M. released their eighth studio album, Automatic for the People, on this date.
The album title was inspired by Weaver D’s soul food diner in Athens, Georgia. When you ordered food there, they answered by saying “automatic.” They had a sign that said “Delicious Fine Foods – Automatic For The People.”
