I never saw TH or DB but I said hello to him once backstage at the Fleadh in Finsbury Park.Talking Heads would be one band I'd pay money to see if they ever go back together.

 

I'm never awestruck by the famous, but saw him in Edinburgh years ago and my gf said "**** sake, go say hello" I was just rooted to the spot. She never shut up about it the whole day and night, ****in bun!

 

I had to have a double-check because he's as normal looking as you can get.

 

I worked with Byrne's nephew at one point. He told me that he is completely nuts, but in a good way. DB stayed in London for a while and his family would go down and visit him. He said that Byrne used to get up in the middle of the night and make up all these daft wee traps for them all and finding it totally hysterical. You may find yourself falling over a piece of string in the hall.

 

That is exactly how I imagined him to be.

They should be thankful, at least he wasn't burning down the house

 

I cant watch " Silence of the Lambs " without imagining the guy who is FBI Chief / Jodie Fosters boss ( Scott Glen ? ) has based his whole act around looking like David Byrne.
