Why did TALKING HEADS stop being a band . . . . . . . . . . .



probably time to call it day . . . . . . . . let David go  and get it out of his system . . . . .  . . 



I do recall being shocked at this clumsiest of word plays when it came out on the 'Sand in The Vaseline' compilation and best of (sic) an album I assumed was a new one as we didn't hear they had split up formally until 1991. A discarded track from the last album 'Naked' which of course I bought when it came out but somehow doesn't feature quite so much anymore on the 'still played' playlist . . . . . . I figured they all needed to go off and do satellite projects but saw no good reason to split up. One never knows. I like to think Jerry would be too cool to clamour and the rhythm section of the Mr & Mrs Frantz, Chris and Tina, would be ready to try 'Wordy Rapping Hood' with Tom Tom Club but proved largely to be a one hit wonder. David the star and main stay of the creativity went on to, if not bigger and better things, then things of similar calibre but everyone is still waiting . . . . . .  . .  .  . . . still waiting . . . .
