R.E.M.’s Peter Buck Acted like ‘Drunken Lout’ On Plane

R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck overturned a breakfast cart, mistook a stranger for his wife and scuffled with crew members after getting drunk aboard a trans-Atlantic flight, prosecutors said at his trial Monday. David Bate, the prosecutor in the case said he behaved like a “drunken lout” aboard the Seattle-to-London flight last April.
