It's a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, 'Well, yeah,' but you start to think, 'Why not, though?' What makes one more valuable than another?

People hear about stuff from their friends or a magazine or a newspaper.
David Byrne

I resent the implication that I'm less of a musician and a worse person for not appreciating certain works.
David Byrne
Image
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
Image
I subscribe to the myth that an artist's creativity comes from torment. Once that's fixed, what do you draw on?
