“He (David Byrne)’s a genuine eccentric. He’s always been exactly like that, and I’ve seen him remain like that in quite extreme situations. For instance, we were mugged together once in New York. It was quite frightening; we were mugged by 14 people. My enduring memory is of David being dragged off into the bushes, saying ‘Uh-oh!’ That’s absolutely true; it was like a cartoon scene.”
I will. I will look for the Burning Boy ...
I recently wrote a feature on Harry Nilsson for Record Collector Magazine. After a number of delays, it’s finally available in their February issue. A few important images were sadly edited out but on the whole, I’m quite pleased with the results. I’m working on another article for them so my hope is this issue will be well received. Run out and grab a copy now!
I find this hypnotic and could watch it for hours.
A gloriously strange Christmas to you all.
