xyzzy

One of my fav Byrne quotes is from his cycling memoir related to his experience of living in a hippie dome commune and struggling with it:

I eventually lost focus on the dome project and ended up busking with another friend on the streets of Berkeley—he played accordion, I played violin and ukulele and struck ironic poses. It was successful. I realized that at that time I was more interested in irony than utopia.

"Yup, that's fancy driving alright" he says, wiggling a steering wheel forward and back, turning left and right, in a 1950s cabriolet set in front of a projector screen.

i love the "14 people" bit of this

I really genuinely love that David Byrne is just like that.
