Talking Heads was an American rock band formed in 1975 in New York City and active until 1991. The band comprised David Byrne (lead vocals, guitar), Chris Frantz (drums), Tina Weymouth (bass), and Jerry Harrison (keyboards, guitar). Former art school students who became involved in the 1970s New York punk scene, Talking Heads integrated elements of punk, art rock, funk, dance, and world music with avant-garde sensibilities and the anxious stage persona of singer Byrne. The group produced several commercial hits and a number of multimedia projects throughout its career, and often collaborated with other artists, such as musician Brian Eno and director Jonathan Demme.
Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine described Talking Heads as "one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the '80s." In 2002, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Four of the band's albums appeared on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and three of their songs ("Psycho Killer", "Life During Wartime", and "Once in a Lifetime") were included among The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. Talking Heads were also included at #64 on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". In the 2011 update of Rolling Stone 's "100 Greatest Artists of All Time", the band was ranked at No. 100.
A music video I had to do for a group project in my first semester of TV broadcasting at Algonquin College. It's the song 'Psycho Killer" by the Talking Heads (we had to use a song from the 70's). I produced, directed and edited it. I also appear in it as the 'Killer'. I wanted it to feel like the movie 'American Psycho'. We ran into alot of problems during production but overall I think it still turned out okay.
These guys really need to get back together. Home is where I want to be Pick me up and turn me round I feel numb - born with a weak heart I guess I must be having fun The less we say about it the better Make it up as we go along Feet on the ground Head in the sky It's okay I know nothing's wrong . . nothing Hi yo I got plenty of time Hi yo you got light in your eyes And you're standing here beside me I love the passing of time Never for money Always for love Cover up and say goodnight . . . say goodnight Home - is where I want to be But I guess I'm already there I come home - she lifted up her wings Guess that this must be the place I can't tell one from another Did I find you, or you find me? There was a time, before we were born If someone asks, this where I'll be . . . where I'll be ...

Here's my favorite track from the concert movie "Stop Making Sense". I'd love to have a conversation with each of the band members ...this was not your usual rock and roll band. The core members, Jerry Harrison, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth and David Byrne certainly had the performance chops to pull off the filmed concert gig, but the addition of percussion player Steve Scales, guitarist Alex Weir from The Johnson Brothers and Parliament- Funkadelic's Bernie Worrell on keyboards plus backing singers Ednah Holt and Lynn Mabry jacked things up the groove level to that famous 11 on the Spinal Tap scale. I saw David Byrne fronting an 18-piece Latin big band at the Greek Theater in LA about 3 years after this was shot. He was terrific that night, as you might imagine.

A welcome antidote to the non-interview with David Byrne that I posted, Jerry was willing to talk about everything. Most tellingly, at the end he describes being sick and tired of having to deal with David Byrne's unwillingness to do anything with the Talking Heads -- and indeed the historical record will show that the band was effectively over by this time. He just didn't know it. Ken Sato interviewed and Steve Harris interpreted on June 28, 1988, at the Capitol Tokyu Hotel in Tokyo, Japan.

Ex-members of Parliament Funkadelic Lynn Mabry and Bernie Worrell in sync with groove sister Ednah Holt movin' to Tina Weymouth's driving bass, the smack in the middle, in the pocket drumming of Chris Frantz and percussion by Steven Scales, Alex Weir's soaring guitar lines, Jerry Harrison's keyboard riffs and in the middle, big suit and voice to match, David Byrne. An amazing performance including band intros from the concert film "Stop Making Sense".

Oh well, I'm dressed up so nice
And I'm doing my best
And I'm starting over
I'm starting over in another place
Lemme tell you a story
A big chief with a golden crown
He's got rings on his fingers
And then he walks up, up to the throne
He's making shapes with his hands
And don't you dare sit back
And don't you dare sit down
And don't you dare speak up
And on the first day we had everything we could stand
Who could've asked for more?
And on a second day there was nothing else left to do
Oh what a day that was
Well there are fifty thousand beggars
Roaming in the streets
And they have lost all their possessions
And they have nothing left to eat
Down come a bolt of lightning
Start an electrical storm
And starts a chain reaction
"Go pull a fire alarm", I said that
I'm dreaming of a city
It was my own invention
I put the wheels in motion
A time for big decisions
And on the first day we had everything we could stand
Oh and then we let it fall
And on a second day there was nothing else left at all
Oh what a day that was
What a day that was
And that's the way it goes
There's a million ways to get things done
There's a million ways to make things work out
Oh well, I'm going right through
And the light came down
And they're rounding them up
From all over town
They're moving forward and backwards
Moving backwards and front
And they're enjoying themselves
Moving in every direction
And if you feel like you're in a whirlpool
You feel like going home
You feel like talking to someone
Who know the difference between right and wrong
And on the first day we had everything we could stand
Oh and then we let it fall
And on a second day there was nothing else left at all
Oh what a day that was
We're going boom, boom, boom and that's the way we live
And in a great big room and that's the way we live
We're going boom, boom, boom and that's the way we live
And in a great big room and that's the way we live
We're going boom, boom, boom and that's the way we live
