Sometimes you just gotta rewatch your comfort letterman interview

I hate when I see ppl who I don't politically agree with liking things I like, saw someone online wearing a MAGA hate making some comment about the woke snowflake left and the audio was this must be the place (naive melody)

Like sir do you know that this was written by an autistic immigrant who got called woke by spike lee and took it as a compliment about his half german half Japanese ex wife?

Actually I'd definitely be interested in any secrets surrounding this particular popsicle. And was it really not based on any personal experiences?

Ohhh I would love to see the whole photoshoot of that one photo in which David gets shaved! That photo was new to me too.

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 🥹
