“Life during Wartime” got extensive FM radio airplay in Chicago circa 1977. That’s how I discovered Talking Heads. My god what an oeuvre he has. They don’t make ’em like that anymore.

The best way to find growth stocks, key features to keep in mind is as follows: 1. Ensure gross margins are greater than 50% 2. Ensure P/E ratio is less than 100 3. Buy companies that are PROFITABLE, very important irrespective of sector. 4. Debt to equity ratio is less than 30% 5. Current ratio is above I 6. and a Float under 100 million One stock that fits the bill is FLGT (Fulgent)

My comment was a tongue-in-cheek joke. Hence, the lyrics quote.
I was around then too. Wonderful times. Saw them live before the “big band” days with just the 4 of them.

February 21, 2022 at 7:38 pm
@GorgeousRoddyChrome Didn’t get the lyrics quote because, and I confess this with a bit of red in my face, I was not that big of a Talking Heads fan. I had a couple of their albums, but my any other familiarity with their music was through FM radio.. way, way, way back when.

Is David Byrne college educated and holds several degrees? that’s what I heard. probably my favorite song is “Wild Wild Life” followed by “Burning Down the house” and there are so many more. I remember the big suit it had really big shoulders. and it made the optical illusion that his head looked small. The Talking Heads were brilliant no doubt.

I remember as a kid jamming out to a few different Talking Heads CDs that my parents had. They were some of my favorite albums in their collection, but I never went back and really listened to them after my teen years. I think it’s long overdue for me to put on a good set of headphones and dive into his music more in depth.

Only one comment:
Ok, two: if that band on SNL was *not* the Heads, they were still damned good, and I was *so* glad he went for the hit on at least one song.

I don’t like Byrne and the Heads much but I have the utmost respect for their talent. Every time I see them it makes me sad because a sadly-departed friend of mine was a huge fan and wrote a book about them. Rest in peace my friend.

I grew up really loving blues and gospel, which of course led me to rock n roll (awww snap) and really wasn’t that much into pop,mainly because I guess rock, r&b, and soul seemed more “authentic” to me as a young man, whatever that means..when I saw “stop making sense” and started really listening to talking heads, I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the originality and the coolness of someone so unafraid of their…awkwardness? idk what…just unafraid to be themselves…so cool..such a huge DB fan, talking heads and solo.

This reminds me of the record Stop Making Sense. The back cover (or possibly the inner sleeve, I am not certain) had a list of frequently-asked questions, with no answers given. I liked the originality of presenting the familiar Q&A format stripped of the As. The questions were left floating. But I also like this more normal version of a Q&A which does have answers. But since this Autocomplete Interview is part of a WIRED series, the producers probably were not even thinking about this being a kind of echo of that album cover.

I saw Utopia on Sept 28, 2019. It was the last night of the performance in Boston. It was fantastic. I was looking forward to a NYC road trip to see it on Broadway. I listen to Stop Making Sense all the time in my car. My boyfriend played “This Must be the Place” to me before 3 surgeries. It calmed me. I would LOVE to sing it with him sometime. I was jealous watching Stephen Colbert singing with him. If l ever get married again, please let me know if you’re available 💞

What a great, positive comments thread! If David inspires this much warmth, that’s something special in itself.

the question was not “where is david byrne right now?” but instead “where is david byrnes right now?” we want to know where your ‘right now’ is. how’s that for philosophical?

“I got married at a Talking Heads show.”
“Showoff”
If you say fold in, one more time.

“…not for grammar.” 😂 This was better than I could have ever imagined. Here, he has the essence of a highly intellectual, nerdy, yet cool college professor…and I love it.

WOW, compare this video with his Letterman interview in the early 80’s. I know time has matured him but the difference is night and day.

“Not only does he think I’m a fictional character, but it’s a psycho killer.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
David Byrne changed my life… in a good way? I had ’77 & ‘More Songs…” on constant loop for 6 months.

He is so personable and normal in this interview! I’ve always assumed him to be an angst ridden and difficult eccentric. Well that’s how he appears on stage with his vaguely hostile stare, and strange twitches and tics!😂

I appreciate this video. I’m not feeling good right now so it’s really nice to see him get all of his charm and humor. It just makes things that much easier❤️ you really don’t know how much this means to me right now.

So love how Byrne shaped his life… Asperger’s only added to his talents and weirdness…n btw: Psycho Killer – first major, well underground hit for them i.m.o…lotsa college airplay, around the time of REM’s beginnings..❤️

incredibly selfish for Byrne to not reunite the Talking Heads for the fans. He is the only barrier to that happening. Such a shame. Especially in this time when so many people are suffering and need love.
