I'm sure they say it too. The exceptions know who they are.

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

I am sad that so many actors and musicians I have really enjoyed I can no longer enjoy because they have opened their mouths and said really stupid political things.

Hollywood in the old days was smart. The studios kept a tight reign on a stars' image. I just can't listen to or see these singers, etc now without their political persona interferring. gone is Sean Penn, Robin williams, Springsteen, and now Talking Heads. Yeesh.

Listening to the wrong kind of music, I guess.

I see that the World Almanac has his place of birth as Dumbarton, Scotland.

Rock and Roll PING! email Weegee to get on/off this list (or grab it yourself to PING the rest)

"Rocker David Byrne has accused US President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for leading the country the same way the late Saddam Hussein led Iraq."

Actually Chavez and Castro have much more leadership in common with a Stalinist like Saddam Hussein.

Are the critics of Bush so stupid that they think their lives are in danger? CNN LIED for Saddam and covered up reports of his torture and abuse to maintain their Baghdad bureau. This ass clown reminds me of Hunter S. Thompson (writing for ESPN) when he said that the offense at Abu Ghraib were more shocking than the worst Nazi atrocities.

PS has he made up with his bandmates yet or are they still unable to be all peace and love to one another?

This is one way he gets into the spotlight, his music can't bring him there anymore.

Life During Wartime, David.

And ironically, that song described underground cells planning an insurgency. One would presume here since they were eating peanut butter.

Can't say I ever really liked Mr. Byrne. He was great with the Heads, but his solo work and his foray into world music annoyed me.

He always struck me as one of those self-righteous geeks getting his revenge on the jocks who beat him up in high school. Too arty, pretentious and self-important to this (admittedly) arty, pretentious and self-important (Repo)Girl.

His whole schtick was implying to people just how much cooler, sophisticated and with-it he was than the regular slobs. Bleh.
