Danny answers “I love Talking Heads, but to be honest I'm...”

Emma asked this question about Remain in Love: Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, Tina:

I love Talking Heads, but to be honest I'm not huge on the idea of reading 400 pages of Chris Frantz being bitter about David Byrne. Is that how it reads in the book, and is there a wider variety of details covered?

Danny I would say it is a must read if you are a Talking Heads fan. However, like the other reviewers mentioned.

He sounds bitter about Byrne from the first mention of him. Even as a David Byrne fan though I think you will find things you like such as David's inspiration for writing different songs.
I will warn you though, this book opens with the most anecdotal "growing up" stories I have ever read. If you have little interest in Frantz, I would skip 50 pages or so in when the founding Talking Heads meet at the Rhode Island School of Design(less)
