Severed Heads: Talking Heads and David Byrne
Phil Sutcliffe, Q, March 1992
"LOOKING AT old videos of Talking Heads," says David Byrne, "it's like three normal kids backing up this maniac — three people who have their feet on the ground and the other one who, if it weren't for them, God knows what he would have been doing. The other one's me, of course."
