  • In the past, I purchased this LP. In the past, I rode home on my bike with the LP under my arm. In the past, I ran into Vince Jefchak on the way home, and tried to explain what I had just bought...even though I didn't know myself. In the present, this is my favorite song from the LP. In the future, David Byrne will be remembered as a genius and a friend to the world.

  • in the future, people will see this and say he was wrong. in the future people won't be able to understand this lanuguage. in the future he will be looked upon as a prophet. in the future he will be called nuts (more so)

  • Yes, it is crazy. But remember, it was written close to 30 years ago and some of it has already come true.

  • love that drummer...

  • All comments ignorant of the historical, cultural and contextual intentions of this brass workout are worthless.

  • Totally reminds me of the cantina band from star wars. Brilliant though.
