I have been a fan of David Byrne for years... and trying to tell all these new-to-rock punk kids
that call themselves Emo, that David Byrne was the true first mark of wacked-out Genius in the MTV generation. It seems in the last year or so that The Talking Heads are becoming a bandwagon to jump on as people start to unravel the genius at the ends of the thread they hung from in that new MTV world which sold their quirkiness because it was easy.
All of it is summed up here in the hand-gestures and huffy-puffy cheeks and weird body movements that make sure Byrne goes down in History as probably one of the most interesting cats to take camping for a weekend.
Stylus Magazine just voted this video as the top in 100 of all time or something.
