26 September 01: As you can see this site is kinda messed up. There are a bunch of broken links and the pages don't match BUT have no fear: The update is coming soon! The front page has already been redone and lots more is to come! Keep checking back. The information below is pretty outdated but it should suffice for now. I am now living in Colorado Springs but I can't wait to get back to Georgia. Later.

Welcome to my web page. My name is Jeff Barber and I am currently a senior at Duke University.

I am from Atlanta, GA (actually Alpharetta) but I have lived all over the state of Georgia, including Athens and Augusta. I have never met any of the members of R.E.M. (some of my friends have) but I did make it to the Monster tour and the recent Up tour. Being from Georgia and specifically the Athens (sort of) area, you get to meet many people with connections to the band. I won't get into those but I have met with many people who have personal connections with the band.

The lyrics on this page are not official in any way. After listening to these albums countless times, I have come up with my own interpretations of the lyrics. I have inserted line breaks in the lyrics to symbolize what I consider to be the verses. Since I don't even know if any of these lyrics are correct, I definitely don't know where the verses are broken up. This just makes the page easier to read.

In case anyone was wondering, I made this page using a Power Macintosh 6500/250 (running System 8.1) using BBEdit 4.5 and Photoshop 4.0 for the graphics.

By the way: Kenneth's Machine is my personal home page. If you are so interested in me and my life, click on one of the links and prepare to be enthralled.

Please email me if you have any questions or comments about my page.

Thanks to Jason Case for emailing me corrections for the page.
