David Byrne
Most of our lives aren't that exciting, but the drama is still going on in the small details.
David Byrne
Well, Marx is having a comeback. I hear him mentioned a lot in terms of the global financial situation and the general sense of injustice out there. A lot of economic experts in America refer to him without actually using the M word, but he's around.
David Byrne
A bike is the world's most used form of transportation
David Byrne
I have something to say about the difference between American and European cities, but I forgot what it was. I have it written down at home somewhere.
David Byrne

David Byrne
