everybody so fucking bald this days...

I was planning to trace this over with fineliners, but I'm afraid to screw it up. Maybe I should just color it in with pencils? Or very lightly with watercolors? I don't know. Maybe someone has advice on what would work best? [reference picture]

X The tags actually reminded me of some times I’ve read about Paul McCartney talking about Talking Heads!

From “McCartney II: Paul McCartney Interviewed By Other Artists”

Erol Alkan, DJ: Which musician did he lyoul greatly admire while making that album?

McCartney: Certainly Talking Heads. I love David Byrne's eccentricity, that's very appealing. And I like his not-mainstream attitude... I was also listening to things like John Cage, Luciano Berio, Cornelius Cardew. I went to their concerts in London because I had plenty of time on my hands so it was the kind of thing I would go and see. Again, just to see what it was about, not necessarily because I was a massive fan. It was more like: what is a prepared piano? Oh, that's what it is. You know, funky stuff like that.

And then from “Forest Hills Stadium at 100 Years Old: From Dylan and Dolly to David Byrne and Don Draper, a Look Back at the Venue's Most Memorable Moments”

When Talking Heads played Forest Hills in August of 1983 on the legendary tour later immortalized in the "Stop Making Sense" film, the band was surprised to see two special guests dancing on the side of the stage - Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney. As Luba [music entrepreneur Mike Luba] tells it, "David Byrne had this ashen look on his face like he'd just seen a ghost. It totally freaked the Talking Heads out." When, years later, Luba personally asked McCartney what he remembers about Forest Hills, the ex-Beatle apparently said, "I saw the single best rock-and-roll show l've ever seen in my life there."

Thank you so much for sending me this info! I'm a huge Beatles-fan as well and I love it when two fandoms cross over in one way or the other ♥ And oh my god, this made me Google 'David Byrne Paul McCartney' and look at this photo! Look at them 🥹

Historical Events in Shelley’s Life & Today: 

The Death of Percy Bysshe Shelley

On July 8, 1822, just past two in the afternoon, Shelley set out with acquaintances on a boat named Don Juan. Shelley had no real need to travel, could not swim, and had been warned that afternoon storms were not uncommon in the Gulf he was sailing out of. Still, he went. 

A storm broke around 6:30pm that evening. Among those in the harbor running for cover was a captain who stated he’d seen the Don Juan out at sea. He told of how he attempted to approach those on board, risking the safety of his own vessel to do so. He noted that the sails were billowing in the winds, and too many were being flown for the approaching storm. He knew the boat would not make it. He loudly called out to those on board to come aboard his vessel, fighting against the rising waves. 

A shrill voice, Shelley, cried back a one word response: “No!”

A sailor on the captain’s boat, confused and a little agitated by the response, replied, “If you will not come on board for God’s sake reef your sails or you are lost.” 

A man on board the Don Juan made a move to do so, but was stopped by someone assumed to be Shelley, as though he were angry at the action. The boat went down in full sail.

It confuses me how normalized it is to be so anti human. The fact that two countries voted no to food being a human right. The fact so many people are against universal healthcare. The fact that it’s normal to believe some people don’t deserve housing because they’re poor, addicts, mentally ill, or any combination of the above. I find it so hard to comprehend that humans who have experienced hunger, thirst, cold, and illness would wish these things upon others, or at the very least not care. It frustrates me beyond belief.

These are the exact values we’re taught as children, to believe all humans are equal in worth and needs, and yet at some point you’re expected to grow out of that illusion. You’re expected to accept that this is what life’s like, that the world is unfair, and attempting to fix it makes you weak and childish.
