I heard Talking Heads for the first time when I was 15 in the early eighties. I was living in Kalgoorlie Western Australia. I went on work experience at the local television station. The station manager drove me in his car a Datsun 1800 to get our lunch. This song was playing in his car as we drove along. I asked him who it was and I was hooked. Great music and I still listen to them.

@@woodyreed2882 David's a weird dude. I don't mean that in an insulting way, but he's obviously very quirky and idiosyncratic. He strikes me as a bit of a control freak with a dash of bipolar. Again, not intrinsically bad things. He's made it clear that he views the Talking Heads as "his band," and "his band" is broken up and that's that. Dude's a bonafide musical genius and it comes with the territory.

@@nightofthelivingdon he's not bipolar, he's just autistic. And as an autistic person myself, it's very difficult to fully cooperate and commit to a group activity like a band or similar, especially for such a long time, and especially when music tastes change over the years between members. It's no surprise that there would be friction between the members, but even then it's definitely not entirely David's fault, as supposedly David and Jerry are still on good terms, but same cannot be said for David and Chris/Tina which makes you wonder if it really was entirely David's fault like the TomTom pair say.

I love how happy Chris Frantz always is

[@ernestgallo8060]

All he has to do is look at Tina.😁🔥

[@robertbarnes428]

Hes married to tina and can play drums killer whats not to love

[@daveguy11]

If you had Tina Weymouth, you'd be happy too.

[@adamtzsch]

He’s one of the luckiest average drummers ever.

[@nancyhallatr]

@@adamtzsch I'm not sure it's luck. He co-created two successful bands. Maybe he's not all that "average."

[@TerryAllenSwartos]

Damn, Tina still had it going on. You hit the jackpot, Chris.

[@hector-sauvage]

Just finished his book, he says at this performance Tina was wearing pants that she bought at 18 years old, and they still fit!!

[@mikeheap7978]

@@hector-sauvage Hope she washed them 🤪😩😱

My biggest concert regret. Never saw Talking Heads live. They are a national treasure.

[@Signs9]

I saw them at a very small venue on NYE in 1977 in Philly. They were amazing.

[@marvalstith2749]

I just met them and I think David is the most important person in the room. From outside the front door, looking back, enjoying what was --- it's understandable him not wanting or needing the 'changes' that would seem natural to many. Well, I know what I mean and am totally enjoying what I missed those many years ago, like this.

[@janemorba]

Tina on the bass is super cool woman !!

[@michaelgrimes865]

There was enough energy at one of their concerts in the early 80's to light up a city..I'd pay top dollar to see them again..add Adrian Below..wow man..the place would be electric..

[@chrispolo840]

You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like listening to Talking Heads

[@Guitar6ty]

Talking heads one of the best creative bands of the 80s. Tina Weymouth played guitar before bass and as a bass player she has discovered the secret which is keep it simple and keep in the groove. David Byrne is a mean guitar player song writer and original vocalist.

[@davidquinn5429]

one of the great bands of the last 50 years.

[@jessehaaland7689]

I've been playing the heck out of his solo.album feelings lately.its probably one of my favorite albums ever..I wish I could've seen this group live.so good

[@christrudell7966]

Always loved this song. Smooth. Drummer nailed it 💪

[@edbrooks2308]

the best concert I've been to.

[@charleskuckel3173]

Probably their BEST song. They had to SLOW it DOWN because The Talking Heads hadn't played it in awhile BUT it STILL sounded AWESOME.

[@timmotel5804]

Good Day. WoW! Excellent!!! Thank You & Best Regards

[@thecathancegroup]

I've watched this post so many times and I can't just stop watching Tina.

[@samlewis7878]

Got to love these guys.........so much talent, originality, ingenuity.... oh ah beautiful.

[@auxpowerunit]

Wow, I remember when this song was just released. Hard to believe that was 43 years ago ! It is still a great song.
