When I looked at the set list for tonight, I was thinking, wow, all the long time David
Byrne, you know, from Talking Heads forward, fans are going to be really excited to see
all the different stuff.
Do you feel that, you know, on some of the solo work that you've left, that you've left,
lost some of those people, some of the Talking Heads fans, because, you know, you ventured
into some other territories and things?
Oh yeah, I've jumped into the deep end a few times, and I know that I've alienated quite
a few fans.
[E] I know that right after Talking Heads, the first record I did was pretty much an all Latin record.
I know for a lot of people, that was just going too far.
Well, and you know, you had The Last Emperor, which was a great foray for you.
I mean, you won an Academy Award doing film music.
Did you ever feel, though, that, you know, you were kind of bewildered or just, you know,
bothered that people didn't follow you down that road more?
Oh yeah, I mean, you would like to have the kind of the
A lot of artists, myself included, have [N] pretty big egos, and we like to think that no matter
what weirdness we get into, we can drag our audience with us.
Kicking and screaming.
Come on, you gotta check this out.
It's great, it's great, I promise you it's gonna be great.
It's okay in here, come on in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on, come on, come on, no, I know what it looks like, but trust me,
trust [A] me.
