They have always been my favourite band mate. When I was younger I also had a major Tina Weymouth crush, and looking at that picture, I'm not sure it has gone away.

One of my big regrets in life is not seeing them live-I did see DB a few times.

Do you know he is Scottish?(from Dumbarton)

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.
 
a little bit of a change with The Beat

Good programme on BBC4 last night - California on the whistle test. This made me chuckle:
