On Monday, David Byrne apologized for not working with any women on his new album, “American Utopia.”

When promoting his new album on Thursday, the former Talking Heads frontman thanked his collaborators on Instagram— all of whom were male, according to the BBC.

I can forgive him. One of the greatest groups of all time.

Every time he was picking a member of the band, he thought, “that’s not my beautiful wife.”

And you might ask yourself (David), “where is that beautiful bass player Tina?”

Same as it ever was...

Yes, a guy that played in a band with a female bass player for a decade or more has to apologize because he has one album that doesn't feature a female musician. The Left is bat$hit insane at this point.

I enjoyed Talking Heads’ first two albums back when I was a kid, but David Byrne stopped mattering to me musically many decades ago. The idea that he’s still around making music is quaint. The idea that he’s apologizing for not including women on his album which no one will buy is even quainter.

Rouse Jim Henson and get him to apologize for only one female muppet among dozens,and it’s an obnoxious fat spoiled pig.

I didn’t like him when I wa a kid because he seemed too showoffy at the time and I didn’t like his voice. Too pretentious. I actually kind of like some of that stuff better now for the 80s flavor.

And to whom is he apologizing? Society, his fans, politically correct bigots, sexists, xenophobes, leftists, communists, people living on the Isle of Yap, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, left handed males, Flat Earth Society adherents, people living in Utah, Maine, Tierra del Fuego? To whom exactly is he apologizing to? Nonsense. What a wimp! Get some testosterone wimp.

Every time you set out to make music with a very small group of people you must ensure proper “representation” of various aggrieved sectors....

He says “it’s not who I am” but he showed us he’s the kind of guy who is willing to perform music without always “representing” women every time. What a horrible horrible person.

In fact, he needs to undergo “gender transformation” immediately so that he can “represent” women in the future. /s

I always wonder if the Bert and Ernie muppets were named after the characters in It's a Wonderful Life.

Her snippy remark is exactly why men don’t like working with women.
