Television sounded really different than the Ramones sounded really different than us sounded really different than Blondie sounded really different than the Sex Pistols.
From David Byrne
That's the one for my tombstone... Here lies David Byrne. Why the big suit?
I'm not suggesting people abandon musical instruments and start playing their cars and apartments, but I do think the reign of music as a commodity made only by professionals might be winding down.
You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.
There's a certain amount of freedom involved in cycling: you're self-propelled and decide exactly where to go. If you see something that catches your eye to the left, you can veer off there, which isn't so easy in a car, and you can't cover as much ground walking.
We don't make music - it makes us.
Sometimes I write stuff that strangely predicts what's going to happen in my life.
In retrospect, I can see I couldn't talk to people face to face, so I got on stage and started screaming and squealing and twitching about. Ha! Like, that sure made sense!
I'm proud of 'Stop Making Sense,' but it's a little bit of an albatross; I can't compete with it, but I can't ignore it either.
Life tends to be an accumulation of a lot of mundane decisions, which often gets ignored.
