Nous sommes entrés en contact avec Grandmaster Flash...Nous écoutions aussi du reggae et de la musique africaine, donc le hip-hop s’est parfaitement intégré à tout cela. C’était une époque très ouverte culturellement.
Beaucoup de rappeurs allaient en France parce que les Français étaient très ouverts.

Talking Heads on the unifying pull of 'Stop Making Sense'

"Why has it been a long time?"
"-Lives diverge."

"[T]here was something so special about the way we made music together; I've never found the same exact thing."

"[W]e really do appreciate how special our relationship musically was. I mean, you're trying to talk about conflicts, but conflicts are just human."

@AndyLowry also 50 yrs ago: Rhode Island School of Design students #DavidByrne (guitar & vocals) and #ChrisFrantz (drums) formed a band called The Artistics. Fellow student #TinaWeymouth (Frantz's gf) often provided transportation...

A lot of the Tom Tom Club's more well-known music is pretty silly, but not this one. Love this one.
