Not really, because they're on my daily 80s playlist. Same as it ever was.

Talking Heads were great. So creative. Still listen to them often.... including now, because of your link!

This song in particular always makes me think of Revenge of the Nerds (fraternity house burning scene).

The Stop Making Sense concert is streaming on Amazon prime and is amazing.

I love the Talking Heads and it's always great listening to David Byrne speak.

Literally, on a daily basis, i pine for their loss and am grateful for having lived in a time when I could enjoy them.
Shout out to anyone who has listened to Fear of Music in it’s entirety recently!

I did a public art project in Brooklyn with David Byrne in 2010 or so. He was very gracious, all business, and didn't waste anyone's time. Much respect.

I think bands can soil their legacy by sticking around too long and making some bad music.

Some of the David Byrne solo stuff is okay and there's also Tom Tom Club records, but the Talking Heads were greater than the sum of their parts.

They put out 8 amazing studio albums and 2 even amazinger live albums and those aren't going anywhere.

Burning Down the House was played a lot in my freshman dorm.

I saw David Byrne perform in 2008. He had tremendous energy then. David gave a fantastic performance on SNL just about a year ago & played Once in a Lifetime.
