Doc Brown comes crashing into the backstage area of Late Night with David Letterman at 88 miles per hour in his flying, time traveling DeLorian. Who pops out of the stainless steel marvel but the young and wide eyed members of REM, circa 1983. As a young scraggly haired Michael Stipe gets his bearing on the foreign locale, he sees a bald skinny dude with blue crap painted on his eyes that looks an awful lot like himself (or John Malkovich). It’s the REM of 2003!

“AW, HELLS NO…” screams Bill Berry as he sees some other dude playing drums, “…IT”S TIME FOR A THROWDOWN!!!!”
