Stop Making Sense
I don’t even know what to say, genius. The transition from David Byrne, dancing with the lamp into his insane performance of once in a lifetime (top three Talking Heads songs for me) was sheer gold. Also perfect was the switch from Tom Tom club, to David Byrne standing in his suit; I know he was so proud of that fucking suit and you know what I would be too.
Do you think Jonathan Demme knew he was holding a pot of gold when he started making this film? because the band really pulled out all the stops for this.
After I finished I went back and watched the performance of Heaven again, and now I can CONFIDENTLY say music won’t get better than that.
