Materials and memorabilia on display come from a multitude of sources, including hobby collectors and longtime fans.

Based in Southern California, Eric Krautheimer is an experienced corporate lawyer who provides counsel in M&A transactions involving major corporations. A fan of classic rock from The Who to U2, Eric Krautheimer considers REM one of his favorite American bands.

Emerging from the alternative college radio scene of Athens, Georgia, in the early 1980s, REM came to its own with a series of concept albums that included Green and Automatic For The People.

Released in 1992, the later album redefined REM’s sound away from jangly guitar rock equally influenced by folk, new wave, psychedelia, and punk and toward a mature, evocative sound. The album included several songs that are now considered classics, including Drive, Find the River, Nightswimming, and Man on the Moon.

In guitarist Peter Buck’s words, the song cycle reflected a sense of loss involved in growing older and realizing that the musical scene that had inspired and nurtured them was gone. The album also tackled serious issues, with Everybody Hurts addressing suicide and providing a message of deep-rooted hope and caring. The understated album turned out to be one of REM’s most commercially successful and holds a five-star rating from Rolling Stone.

Eric Krautheimer has been working as a corporate lawyer for several years. Currently practicing merger and acquisition law as a partner in the Los Angeles office of Sullivan & Cromwell, LLP, he helps clients buy and sell companies. In his free time, Eric Krautheimer is an avid sports fan and is a New York Knicks season ticket holder.

The New York Knickerbockers, more affectionately known as the New York Knicks, has a long history of being involved in the community. Working in partnership with a number of organizations, the team supports several community-focused programs, such as Dream Big Speak Out. Created as a collaboration between Urban Word NYC, the Knicks, and Garden of Dreams, the Dream Big Speak Out program works with teenagers from SCO Family of Services and encourages reflection about how the African American experience and Black History inspires their lives.

Over the course of the eight-week long program, teenagers meet at the Urban Word offices once a week to look at music, history, and poetry in an attempt to find their own voice. Participants discuss a variety of literary terms like free verse and rhyme during the program and look at how various forms of expression relate to one another. Throughout all of this, they also work on creating a performance piece or poem that serves as an expression of an obstacle they are facing in their life. These creations are then performed at an open mic event after the program is completed.
