Great story!
I saw it in a theater...people were dancing in the aisles.
Mine , too, along with “Sign ‘o’ the Times” with Prince.
Hilarious!!
I didn't bother to follow the link, because I wasn't interested in a 60 minute interview. 🙂
Never said I was always correct. 🙂
While I am familiar with talking Heads, I rarely know the names of band members. I think The Beatles was & is the only group where I can name every band member. 🙂
Except Talking Heads was never really “his band”. They were their own band that Brian Eno decided he liked their potential but they lacked a little something. That “little something” turned out to be a guy who had done a bit of work with Eno’s friend Robert Fripp, head guy of King Crimson. So they superglued Byrne onto the Tom Tom Club and created Talking Heads. Eventually all sides kind of got tired of each other and split. Byrne’s solo stuff continues to be highly experimental. It lacks the accidental commercial appeal of Talking Heads, but it’s really interesting. Tom Tom Club occasionally goes out and does reunion-esque tours.
Great description!
