On Broadway: David Byrne and "American Utopia"

[@gajayjay]

Saw this twice on broadway. Immensely epic, heartwarming, thought provoking and beautiful. David Byrne really knows how to make you appreciate the beauty of humanity despite all the flaws and chaos

[@larrysouthern5098]

The TALKING HEADS (STOP MAKING SENSE) is an Iconic video.....this man is an inovator of all times!!! Thirty five plus years in music and he keeps pushing the envelope!!!

[@Jilktube]

The most underrated musician of our time.

[@calebfrederick6569]

Sunday morning continues to be one of the best shows on tv

[@jefferee2002]

What a treasure. I remember as a kid listening to Talking Heads, and not really understanding it because it was just so far out. But in a subconscious level I loved it. And it opened me up mentally.

[@ikes1961]

Well put!

[@mandoarevee7578]

Byrne. The older he gets the more Creative. In particular a Solo.

[@nothingmatters9005]

What a joy to see this feature the day before I head to the Hudson for American Utopia. I saw it on tour in 2018 and thought it was phenomenal. I'm very excited to get another go.

[@darealberrygarcia]

Super creative talented man

[@ikki_jabul4456]

"Cause I got busted." I broke out in tears and laughter

[@leachristine5264]

The first musician I remember hearing as a kid was David Byrne and it was thanks to my Dad. The last concert we saw was American Utopia on Broadway. We got to meet David afterwards too, he’s such a kind man. A genius. I love everything this man has created 💕

[@Timewriter24]

A real artist and real World citizen, thanks David for your art!

[@williameichner7177]

I don't remember the exact year but I saw the Talking Heads at Forest Hills tennis courts or Stadium I remember having to gather up five other friends because I had six tickets and we got there oh 10 or 15 minutes late but it was one of the most spectacular outdoor concerts I've ever seen in my life in fact it was the most spectacular outdoor concert I've ever seen

[@THEBATTLEOFBRITPOP2]

I love you David thank you for all the happy times

[@cosmorocker]

David Byrne 💜

[@ianstewart8301]

Glad the reporter brought up Luaka Bop and his other work. Would’ve loved hearing about his love of bicycles too.

[@grapebox]

Love to hear Byrne and Peter Gabriel duet

I think this guy just became my hero

[@ShiniestJ]

What is wrong with people CBS Sunday Morning ? There's no "THE" Talking Heads! They pointed it out quite clearly by naming an album : "The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads" Is that clear enough?

[@BrokenBackMountains]

Great comment.

[@ludovicoc7046]

That would be *Talking Heads* not The Talking Heads.

[@larrysouthern5098]

Hmmmm??..What????.. My GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!!

[@bernlin2000]

Yeah...it was fine the first time, but it got seriously annoying afterwards. Even the news articles they are showing from the 80s shows it, while she says it wrong at the same time!! Narrator apparently had no notes.

[@rickshelton8073]

Same as Ramones. It's not "the" Ramones

[@roxanneboley178]

That redhead is the wonderful, enjoyable, sweet drag queen, Ms. Kimberly Clark!

[@CEinCville]

Wow, yes, s/he's really a standout in these clips, makes me want to see more.

[@Clay3613]

The guitarist?

[@shawnuel]

Ha! Not knowing this info, I thought he looked like an effeminate Louis C.K. wearing modified Drag make-up! Yes. He really is enjoyable to watch.

[@amandacbm9336]

Kimberly Clark, Clark, Clllaarrrkkk

[@mandaleigh5249]

I saw their performance on SNL last weekend and was wondering who that was!! How cool.

[@Ami483]

Chris and Tina, he actually called you FRIENDS 4:28 peace and love

[@KJensenStudio]

Oooh, learning they weren't in the band from a newspaper article? Harsh! Even worse than breaking up on facebook.

[@mattmc121]

Nobody in the production of this segment knew the actual name of his mega famous band.

[@copywritergena1225]

I love David Byrne, but oh, what I wouldn't give for a Talking Heads reunion.

[@dice1296]

well...after "loosening the purse strings" on his last tour, he could certainly replenish the coffers w/ a talking heads tour. and he's obviously in a really good head space right now. so...if it was ever going to happen now would be the time

[@sadiecakes2284]

That would be so amazing!!! ♥️♥️🔥🔥👍👍

[@bjustin1000]

The way I see it he still is a talking head. No material is lost.

[@hillaryroberts3623]

I was all excited about this Show until I saw the price to see it! Looks like finding joy is going to cost you.

[@itomba]

All of Broadway is crazy overpriced.

[@hillaryroberts3623]

@@itomba not exactly.

[@gpeddino]

I agree but well, it's an expensive show.

[@brianplum1825]

Broadway stage hand union members make about $200K a year. Performers rightly want to make more on top of that. Someone has to pay.

[@karldixon9569]

go and see this live...

[@samanthab1923]

Even the interviewer got old. Remember her on MTV. Wonder if that big suit is in a museum.

[@darlinspaces]

I think she looks nice for her age. But if you live in NYC, and breathe in all that dirty air what do you expect?

[@bonnieosborne7057]

Geeee Sheila, what's a matter? You didn't age well?

It's Talking Heads. Why does she repeat 'The' talking Heads. There is no The!

[@maxdakota111]

It's simply Talking Heads...

[@chadanding8692]

Same as it ever was

[@christinacascadilla4473]

I really like Talking Heads but if he just recycled his old songs I can’t get too excited about this.

[@paulschultz7955]

Would you buy tickets to see The Stones and expect them not to play Gimme Shelter?

[@rr7firefly]

Why is everyone barefoot?

[@daishoryujin95]

If he’d never said, I would never guessed that he was Scottish. He definitely doesn’t sound Scottish. Or maybe that’s just me being uncultured.

The silver spoon from the Moody Blues blew it in Rome and the colored guy collaborated.

I’m sorry but I think American Utopia is not all that good - The musicians don’t seem to be up to par as musicians in the past and it resembles a high school matching band
