“burning down the house”
You know I love Talking Heads. My favorite band for a long time.
I opened my book with a quote from the great David Byrne.
See our Cap’s opener here – help us to burn down the house. Thanks. Go Caps!

“This Must Be the Place”
Wow. What an interesting cover of a great Talking Heads song. What do you think?
Is this genius or is this derivative? Cool or not cool?

I Am a Sucker for David Byrne
I fell in love with everything David Byrne and Talking Heads during the summer of 1977 while I lived in downtown Boston. Talking Heads were always playing in Boston. Many of them were graduates of Rhode Island School of Design so you could bump into them at parties or see them play small clubs in NH, Boston and the Cape. One of the best shows I ever saw was Talking Heads, the B-52′s and Joe Jackson in a small venue at the beach in Salisbury, NH.
I just love everything about him. I always thought he was smart, wry, expansive in his musical taste and very elegant, classy and original.
He has continued to make very thoughtful music. He has great taste and is a fantastic live performer. We saw him this Saturday night at Wolf Trap. It brought back lots of great memories. His new music is terrific. Listen here for some free streaming music from his new CD. It sounds great!
David Byrne is one of my favorite artists. He is relevant today and he and Brian Eno make next generation music that pays homage to his roots and to Talking Heads as well.
RIP to the Fifth Talking Head
A music industry giant has passed away, rest in peace Gary Kurfirst. You will be missed.
Talking Heads
I must admit, when I was in college and after graduation, Talking Heads was my favorite band. “Stop Making Sense” is my favorite music documentary. I loved Tom Tom Club as well. I have seen Talking Heads in concert six times in small venues all around New England.
Imagine my surprise when I read this article and saw the information about Talking Heads, Tina Weymouth and their connection to the new President of the Washington Post.
We all want and need the Washington Post to stay in business and to grow and to be viable in the new world order. They are like oxygen and the enterprise is a key part of the fabric of our community.
We are all rooting for Katharine Weymouth. I will do anything to help the Post win and succeed and anyone that is six degrees from a Talking Head rocks in my book!
