1979 was a great year for Post Punk. Talking Heads. Joy Division. PIL. SO MUCH.

When Fear Of Music came out, Talking Heads already had a stamp of disapproval in our house (our mom saw them on SNL with us and was what I would describe as disgusted, couldn't believe we liked them). Fear Of Music had such a dark vibe I wasn't sure I liked it at the time.

Cut to about a year ago, when my mom asked me "Would I like David Byrne?" and i had the pleasure of answering (truthfully) "yes".

Oh no, John King died... thank you Evan. Wasn't aware. He was a colorful character. In the 1980s he hosted a great program called "Entertainment USA" on the BBC, which would review, well, entertainment in the USA for that week. He loved the US and gave much more insight into the country and culture than we in the UK could get anywhere else.
