So now every single band has to look like the Village People plus LGBTQYZ. It’s not about the music anymore. Hollywood isn’t about movies anymore. The NFL isn’t about football anymore. This is complete insanity.

[dfwgator]

I really have very little patience for it any more.

It's enough to turn one into a psycho killer (Qu'est-ce que c'est ?)

Macho Man, a song about toxic masculinity.

[KTM rider]

she could file a restraining order on David Byrne for absolutely no reason, and then he would have to get a lawyer and go to court and prove he did not abuse her

[Architect of Avalon]

They were.

[JennysCool]

John, Paul, George and Ringo apologize for not including Tawnisha.

David Byrne is set to unveil his new album ‘American Utopia’ on 9th March through Todomundo/ Nonesuch but ahead of its release, it’s now streaming in full over on NPR!

[GOP Poet]

hahaha!!! Good one!!!

[Secret Agent Man]

So what. Probably turned out fine.

Can we now rip Lilith Fair? They made it femalemonly on purpose. I seriously doubt David Byrne did this deliberately.

[Secret Agent Man]

FYI, I meant “so what” to the author of the article not the poster.

[60Gunner]

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

Nope. Byrne is a raging, Jew-hating pig. His music means nothing.

“Hi sweetie. I have the creative team I want for this project. So why don’t you just go sit in a corner and shut up. I will, however, make sure to acknowledge you as a collaborator when the time comes.”

If I were a woman or minority in the music or movie biz, I would start offering myself as somebody who is willing to sit down and shut up, for a price. The price includes a solemn promise never to whine or winge about my marginal (nonexistent) contribution to the creative process.

Set asides lead to featherbedding. Given the amount of money in the entertainment industry, it could be a very comfortable bed.

[P.O.E.]

Set asides lead to featherbedding

Used to know a female welder. She made a fortune just having to show up on all kinds of union jobs to satisfy quotas. Nice lady, good worker, too. But way more jobs came her way than others in the local.

[Tallguy]

David Byrne is engaging in a 2000-teens marketing ploy. You lay yourself bare and confess your ‘sins’ to the Red Guards just to get noticed. Then maybe the album will sell?

[I want the USA back]

But if he had produced an all male album of GAYS, he would be worshiped!

[PlateOfShrimp]

Things fall apart.

It’s scientific.

[PlateOfShrimp]

I agree completely. BTW, an excellent cover:

Maybe he wanted to put out a DECENT PRODUCT.

[Political Junkie Too]

What about Janice from that wonderful band The Electric Mayhem?

Geez, David, get an affirmitive action audio engineer in there and move on.../s
