David Byrne, the eternal nonconformist, is back: I make music as an act of resistance to what I read in the press'

"Both singers wore red overalls and white T-shirts as they made their way through choreography inspired by Byrne's own moves in the film Stop Making Sense (1984), a recording of the band's tour directed by Jonathan Demme, considered one of the creative peaks of popular music in the second half of the 20th century, and which, after being remastered, returned to theaters last year."

"Talking Heads was one of the bands that took shape in the era of New York's East Village club CBGB. Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Jerry Harrison and Chris Frantz were going for a vibe that was a little punk, like their neighbors the Ramones and Richard Hell & The Voidoids, until one day in the dressing room, Lou Reed told them that they, unlike the others, didn't have to play so fast."

On June 8, David Byrne surprised the Governors Ball crowd by joining Olivia Rodrigo to perform "Burning Down the House." Both wore red overalls and white T-shirts and reenacted choreography inspired by Byrne's moves in Stop Making Sense (1984). Rodrigo invited several guest artists that summer, but only Byrne matched outfit and routine. Byrne began playing guitar at the Rhode Island School of Design and co-founded Talking Heads during the CBGB era. Lou Reed advised the band to slow down, which helped shape their sound. Talking Heads fused punk, pop, Latin and African rhythms, experimental electronica, and performance art, sold 30 million albums, and disbanded in 1991.
