We met John Goodman and I can tell you that he was a jerk LMAO he wasn't friendly at all and told racist jokes pretty much the whole time we were there LMAO of course this was at the beginning of his career so I'm sure he's a much different, more grown up person now LOL I remember meeting him because we spent a lot more time with him then we did with David Byrnes. David Byrne if I recall correctly came in and shook everybody's hand and then left pretty much but we spent the entire day around John Goodman.

      But that’s just it: David Byrne is not “weird” or trying to be . . . you are witnessing unrestricted genius. There are those who try to harness WEIRD for affect. Salvador Dali, Byrne, Nina Hagen, Timothy Leary, etc. were just doing their thing: they never for one minute thought of themselves as weird.

Of course, lots of artists today and in history have had annoying affectations (Lord Byron took a goose with him everywhere), but please don't think I was saying Byrne et. al . are not being authentic; quite the opposite.

    Not sure if this was mentioned, but Talking Heads drummer Chris Frantz played the Ozzy Osbourne character, the Hank Williams-style country-and-western singer and the sports fan with WILD WILD LIFE on his baseball cap. Tina Weyworth (Talking Heads bassist) played a society lady (not sure which one), the lady who rips off her wig to reveal a bald head, and the woman dancing with the Prince cosplayer.

      I was in a band called Rick Berlin- The Movie. Rick was signed to Epic in the seventies with Orchestra Luna, They often played CBGB's, where the Talking Heads opened for them. Later they had Karla DeVito, whom Jim Steinman stole for Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell. Anyway, Rick said that David Byrne did a lot of acid, and "boy , was he weird". I always think of that, because they were all weird then. It's on RUclips. We were more commercial but less successful, oh well, I wasin the Karla DeVito spot, it was crazy fun, Rick still does gigs in Boston. We were on Mtv at least, witha song called People Live, witha Baptist choir. Im in the white dress. Easier to find under Steven Paul Perry, Good old 80's!!

    Lyrics :
    I'm wearing a fur pajamas
    I ride a hot potato
    It's tickling my fancy
    Speak up, I can't hear you
    Here on this mountain top, oh-oh-oh
    I got some wild, wild life
    I got some news to tell you, oh-oh
    About some wild, wild life
    Here come the doctor in charge, oh-oh-oh
    She's got some wild, wild life
    Ain't that the way you like it, oh-oh?
    Living wild, wild life
    I'll wrestle with your conscience
    You wrestle with your partner
    Sitting on a windowsill
    But he spends his time behind closed doors
    So check out mister businessman, oh-oh-oh
    He bought some wild, wild life
    On the way to the stock exchange, oh-oh-oh
    He got some wild, wild life
    Pick it up when he opens the door, oh-oh-oh
    He doing wild, wild life
    I know it's the way you like it, oh-oh
    Living wild, wild
    Peace of mind
    It's a piece of cake
    Thought control
    You get on board any time you like
    Like sitting on pins and needles
    Things fall apart
    It's scientific
    Sleeping on the Interstate, oh-oh-oh
    Getting wild, wild life
    Checking in and checking out, oh-oh-oh
    I got 'em, wild, wild life
    Spending all of my money and time, oh-oh-oh
    On too much wild, wild life
    We wanna go and we go where we go, oh-oh-oh
    Ah, doing wild, wild life
    I know it, that's how we start, oh-oh-oh
    Got some wild, wild life
    Take a picture here in the daylight, oh-oh
    And it's a wild, wild life
    You've grown so tall, you've grown so fast, oh-oh-oh
    Wild, wild life
    And I know that's the way you like it, oh-oh
    Living wild, wild, wild, wild life!

    1.Yes that's John Goodman. He was a struggling actor when he made True Stories, which while not a big hit landed him supporting roles in Raising Arizona and the Big Easy and eventually Roseanne
    2. EDIT: Appareny that IS Meatloaf! Also, the guy with long hair and a thin mustache is Tito Larriva, an actor and singer who was also in From Dusk Till Dawn and other Robert Rodriguez movies
    3. True Stories is a great movie and inspired the name of the band Radiohead
