May, 1981 - Snippets of Scott Cohen's interview with David Byrne

SC: Who was the first rock star you wanted to fuck? DB: Mia Farrow. Though she wasn’t a rock star, she did marry Frank Sinatra. [...] SC: Do you believe in love? DB: I believe it’s something real and happens to people. I fall in love now about the same as before. It’s a job, sort of. It’s work. SC: Is sex everything you thought it would be? DB: No. Sometimes you think it’s what you want but it’s not at all what you needed at the time. I really don’t think about it that much because I’m personally happy without it and I don’t mind waiting until I find someone who I really get along with. I don’t go out on the prowl too much. SC: As the Talking Heads got better, did your sex life get better? DB: About twenty-five percent better. SC: Did the beds get better? DB: The beds in the Holiday Inn always seemed comfortable to me. They’re all made up before you get into them, which is more than I can say about my bed at home. SC: Do you talk a lot in bed? DB: Not during sex. [...] SC: Where would you go on a dream date? DB: Sometimes when I meet a girl I think, Could I ride on a Greyhound bus with this person? So I suppose I have romantic notions about that, but maybe it has more to do with two people going someplace. I guess dream dates turn out to be where you go to all these different places in the same night, maybe spending an hour at one place and an hour someplace else. It ends when I come home, listen to a record and go to sleep. SC: Did you ever get caught fucking? DB: Yes, and I felt real silly. A friend of mine caught me fucking his girlfriend. It was in their house. I felt pretty bad and the guy felt pretty bad but the girl thought it was real funny. But it didn’t change our friendship very much. SC: Did you get a song out of it? DB: I think I wrote "Psycho Killer" shortly after.

Good morning David.

The way this makes so much sense to me. He's demonstrating how fake movie driving was at that time (now they do usually throw them on a road).

guys I don’t think David Byrne knows how to drive

[byrningdown]

I was going to say "Now this is just getting silly", but I think we already passed that point a long time ago.
