    “Of course, it raised my expectations up very much for this book written by New Wave legend David Byrne, and I’m very satisfied after reading this book. It covered how Talking Heads rose up from CBGB to arena concerts, which is an unbelievably interesting story. In my personal opinion, Remain in Light is the best 80s album, even better than The Queen Is Dead or Closer. I won’t stop enjoying David’s crazy sounds. (Besides, I really desire to have a pair of ears without listening to There Must Be the Place).”
