Like the president, you might think the soundtrack has changed since 9-11. You'd both be wrong.
Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
Somebody see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter,
To last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones,
Ain't got no records to play
Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time
Can't write a letter, can't send no postcard,
I ain't got time for that now
Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock,
We blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines,
I know that that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives,
Or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle, so many times now,
I don't know what I look like!
I never knew there was a negro in that band.

Posted by: Jack at April 24, 2013 9:08 AMWhile Talking Heads proper was white, they toured with lots of black folks. Some of the more famous are Busta Cherry Jones, who would play bass adn guitar, Bernie Worrell, the fantastic keyboard man who played with Pfunk and George Clinton, Steve Scales who would play percussion and guitar, the beautiful and talented Nona Hendrix as a back up singer, she was in Labelle, and the equally lovely Dolette McDonald as a back up singer.

Posted by: Alex at April 24, 2013 9:27 AMWhen first heard, that song triggered a wash of memory about cowering under the dining-table in our lovely house on the outskirts of Karachi during the first wave of Indian air raids at the start of the war of Bangladeshi secession. (LONG freakin' story.) "Fear of Music" has been a favorite since.

I want to make sure, so I don't make any mistakes.

That you Moby? That you Moby? That you Moby? That you Moby?
Sheesh.
Best concert evah! Saw the Talking Heads twice during the summer of 1983. Filmed by Jonathan Demme and immortalized in the film "Stop making Sense". Highly highly recommended. Two thumbs way up.
btw Gerard - this is a brilliant link to our angry hapless President who is sinking into a morass of his creation and dragging us down with him.
