So great that everyone made fun of him. "Dog Eat Dog" (Weird Al) "Fake Talking Heads Song" (Liam Lynch)and Brian Eno's "King's Lead Hat" (an anagram of "Talking Heads").
When I go out with artists
They talk about language and the cubists and the dadaists
And I try to catch their meanings
And keep up with all the martinis
I don't know which should be my favorite paintings
If I could see, if I could see, if I could
See all the symbols, unlock what they mean
Maybe I could, maybe I could, maybe I
Could meet the artists, and get to know them personally
If I were David Byrne
I'd go to galleries and not be too concerned
Well I would have a cup of coffee
And I'd find my surroundings quite amusing and
People would ask me which were my favorite paintings
What if the artists ran the TV?
All the ads would be for fine scotch whiskey:
Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, the whole single malt family
The artists of the future
Will make up new things and different nomenclatures
And they'll stand amongst their pictures
And they'll sing and laugh and quote from scriptures and
When they go home they'll dream of brilliant paintings
When Jerry Harrison produced Crash Test Dummies in 1993, he wrote a song for them called "If I could meet the artists" which rips on David Byrne pretty good
I propose we go out and get drunk, throw some books in the fireplace, talk about reality shows and then I ejaculate in your eyes after 10 seconds of foreplay.
I don't know, but I would have Killed Self and Fucked Body long ago if any part of what he posts here is true. I don't have the constitution to be going on perpetually fucked for that lenght of time.
I don't know if you heard this story, but it actually happened. It was late at night, I needed an aspirin, but didn't want to go to the kitchen and disturb mom's retarded dogs. So I went to the medicine cabinet and took a small swig.
I was drunk off my ass for 8 hours the next day. Looked at the label: the nyquil had expired in 1982.
