  • I think Talking Heads saved my life. Was a depressed 15 year old growing up in farm country in 1977... where I lived music was all about country/bluegrass rock which I liked and still do but as a person I didn't see how I fit in there. An older 19 year old girl I knew gave me her Talking Heads 77 album because she said she didn't like it but thought maybe I would because I was kind of "different". She was correct I loved it and imagined there was so much more out there and one day may find people just like me. Ended up going to art school and moving to NYC which is where I still live. The first time I heard Speaking in Tongues I was with three friends and we took lsd with that album on repeat all day. Many years ago I had an exciting new york moment of talking with Tina and Chris at an after party. David signed my copy of his book from the film True Stories. Talking Heads will top the playlist at my wake.

  • The concert tour came to Montreals Olympic Stadium. They were part of a four-act concert. Opening act was Stevie Ray Vaughn, followed by Peter Tosh, then the Talking Heads, and the Police. We wouldn't let the Talking Heads leave. They played encore after encore. Police roadies cut them off mid song. Never forget the opening: a boom box on a stool with the opening riff of Burning Down the House playing, and each member walked onto stage, took up their instrument, and played.

  • My teen years in Dublin would not have been the same without this band. No one else i knew liked them much but to me they were just a different world of music, lyrics and performance. They also introduced me to so much other music - Eno, African rhythms, Adrian Belew and Fripp etc.. It would be nice to see a live gig, I could never afford to travel to see them.

A minute or two before the show started the crowd was suddenly abuzz with the news that Mayor Moscone and Harvey Milk had just been shot dead at City Hall. We were all kinda freaking out and David Byrne walked onstage with his guitar and began Psycho Killer. It was a ligthbulb moment and that evening the streets were full of marchers and police cars were burning in front of City Hall.

There were some bitter comments e.g. Chris said "David Byrne only wants to play with David Byrne." Some real hurt and this is affirmation of the band and an Epic live film.
