Show Notes

Ranked number 100 on Rolling Stone’s  “100 Greatest Artists of All Time”, The Talking Heads were progenitors of Art-School Preppy Punk.  Everyone knows David Byrne and that crazy white suit, but behind him was Chris Frantz, the drummer with whom Byrne formed the band.  As a founding member, he was there to have lunch with Andy Warhol, tour with The Ramones, and stumble onto a #1 hit with The Tom Tom Club.  But for all the highs and lows, Chris Frantz Remains in Love, especially with his bass-playing wife. This week Martha and Christian get anxious as they discuss the nervous antics of this frenetic band.  Will this detour into 70s New York yield gold, or are they on a road to nowhere?
