Speaking of eBooks, anyone read Talking Heads' Fear of Music (33 1/3)?
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.
'War Stories'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm about halfway through it and loving it. Should have finished it a while ago, but I got sidetracked by something else.
I will add that Fear of Music is my favorite T Heads album, though it's not necessarily their best (More Songs... or Remain in Light, I think).

Thanks, Frank. That's now on my iPad as well.
Buying eBooks is just so damn easy since I bought my iPad that I just can't stop buying more. Sorta' how you can't just eat one Lay's potato chip.

I'd have a hard time picking between Fear of Music and More Songs About Buildings and Food for my favorite Talking Heads album. Remain in Light would be my third fave.
I love all their albums up to (but not including) Naked. That one's just OK, although I do love "(Nothing But) Flowers." Even their live albums are great.

Yeah, I'm a huge TH and David Byrne fan. I think I would buy an album of him singing the phonebook.

David Byrne sends me emails.
OK, I'm just on his mailing list.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Remain in Light is their masterpiece, I think. But it might be just that I love Adrian Belew's guitar on that record so much.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Already have tix to Byrne's concert tour in October, supporting this: [link] We bought them the minute they went on sale. CAN"T WAIT.

David Byrne sends me emails.
He writes very well! He has a way of making you feel like you're his friend.
