David Byrne: Imelda – The Nightclub Years
Andrew Purcell, The Guardian, 29 January 2007
DAVID BYRNE KEEPS a small black diary on his bookcase, with 'DB – Idears' written on the spine in gold ink. Without rifling through its pages, a sore temptation when left alone in his study, there's no telling how old it might be. It could contain handwritten lyrics for Talking Heads songs, a note to Brian Eno or Twyla Tharp, a draft screenplay for his film, True Stories, or a sketch for the chair made out of dried macaroni that sits by the window.
