I'm depressed that Bryne has lost his youthful svelte figure. He's active but lifting free weights a couple times a week would be honing
Probably an unpopular opinion but: As a big-time Talking Heads fan, I find late-period David Byrne really cringy. I couldn't finish AMERICAN UTOPIA, and the aesthetic of this video is not my thing even though (like AU) it's heavily STOP MAKING SENSE coded https://t.co/sSiBwVu6nl

The way people treat the “sanctity of money” (an accounting tool for logistics plans) is like if in five thousand years Microsoft Excel was considered an extension of “the laws of nature”
