David Byrne On Protest Music, Creativity And Fans Craving A Talking Heads Reunion | MSNBC
17,182 homeless last week. Thank you House and Senate.
Mostly senate, do better homework!
Great interview always liked the heads now David more so
Surely… not as good as it ever was.🥸Flashback—Tump is Burning Down The House‼️ Thank you David and Ari~that was cool…🌎💚✌🏽
It’s so weird that a Kiwi kid grew up listening to this and loves it to this day.
Yeah, it is weird.
Hi Rose
Ari, this is great! Love the insights, you ask the right ?s; same things i would ask. i hope this really takes off for You.💝
Hi Ms Stella
Nice to see some of the arts being discussed (specially w/ David Byrne) instead of the same ol’ silly political fodder.
@James Stuart Hello!
Well that was a great interview ✌💜
Jeff Goldblum could definitely play David Byrne
Loved Talking Heads growing up. Fantastic music that always had a strong message. Thank you David Byrne. You add such value to music, art and humanity. Sending positive human energy from South Africa.
Looking for a financial consultant I need to increase my passive income

Mr Hwang is trust worthy
Contact mr Hwang through telegram @Investwith_Hwang or WhatsApp +1 231-412-4382
Mr Hwang kicked my puppy in the nuts and shagged my wife, he cannot be trusted.
Go away. This is for a music discussion, not a scam recruiting post.
Lucifer’s soft machine, heart strings, a death camp public announcement system, how soft machinery reassuring.
WOW, ARi Melber and David Byrne talking together! God, can it be? God is Good!
What a legend and a humbled man. I dig this. I remember Johnathon Richman and one of his or two. Left to go to Talking Heads.
Agree, a fine interview. Thought Jonathan Richman started the neo-punk band Modern Lovers…never played in Talking Heads that I know of. At most, they might of passed each other @ CBGB’s. Check out David Byrnes: American Utopia (on HBO).
The first half of the Boomers had an Elvis hangover, it’s all good. We have David
And his American Utopia!
He is my musical idol, him and Peter Gabriel ❤️
He’s a wonderful musician.
Hi Isis
How’re you doing today
Me Too!!!
It’s a simple process, the devil’s duckling’s have to gloat, gloat, gloat, head high, ducks in a row, on the way along the shining path to Traitors pearly Gates white house, dissenting voice white out, a censorship blizzard. The most self righteous bunch that ever lived and breathed.
Talking Heads, a brilliant band!
A “Remain in Light” reunion would be interesting. I loved that period with the African influence.
Then check out his newest project: David Byrnes: American Utopia. The band he put together for this amazing show…is a very unique concept, there is plenty of rhythmic drumming methods used like in Stop Making Sense….but even better!
Thank you, Ari. Freaking FANTASTIC!!
Just imagine what the world would be like, if we follow David’s advice and always looked forward instead of looking back pining for the past?
Dam right!
This was inspired, Ari
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
