David Byrne


 * a musical pioneer and innovator, who once fronted Talking Heads.
 * when Dr. Colbert is done with him, he'll start making sense

March 2, 2009 Nailing

 * new album Everything That Happens Will Happen Today
 * self-released
 * Dr. Colbert doesn't know if the album is any good because a record executive hasn't stated it's worth by virtue of his publishing it
 * Dr. Colbert didn't know if his book was any good until Time Warner said they would publish it (convincing him that he did indeed write a good book)


 * Byrne put it online allowing people to preview it
 * he mistakenly believed it would limit people's listening to the song when they're by their computer
 * Stephen keeps his computer on the dashboard of his car


 * Stephen discusses some lyrical issues
 * he has found himself behind the wheel of a large automobile (Audi AAL, a sweet ride, giving the driver the sensation of running people over with your couch) and he has a beautiful house and a beautiful wife
 * not once has he asked himself, "How did I get here?"
 * Stephen's driver, Pablo, took him here today Z(and is responsible for a lot of how Stephen got to where he is in his life at this particular time)
 * Byrne wants to meet Pablo


 * Byrne is a musician, visual artist and computer embroiderer
 * being innovative may get stale; it would interesting if he did something ordinary


 * Dr. Colbert's theory about artists: they are afraid of being ordinary
 * mistaking what which is ordinary with that which is common among people


 * in the dark of night David Byrne fears that David Byrne is actually like everybody else
 * it was the first time any of Dr. Colbert's interviews ever got that deep
