In the why I love the internet category: I have been enjoying reading D. Byrne's journal. First introduced to it when he was on tour - shortly after we had seen him in Milwaukee. Interesting to read his take on the various cities he played in. I've enjoyed his music and sensibiltiy for years. When we first moved to Milwaukee and didn't know anyone, the Oriental Theatre had a big suit contest. John spent the day building a big suit and that night won the look alike contest - dancing on stage in absolute joy. We didn't know a soul, had the time of our lives and we came home with every Talking Heads album that had been recorded to date!
Anyway his music is a soundtrack to our own history - and it is comforting to read someone whose thinking is like-minded to your own in some ways.
