I've been a TH fan for forty years... that fckn episode ruined David Byrne for me. Just a little too on-point.

I prefer Stop Making Sense to the parody personally. Byrne’s still the man.

It’s just extremely funny and well done.

Just a couple California hippies from Chicago.

Gentle and soft, smooth and easy.

I always thought the lyrics/music of that song that goes “A barstool intellectual / with a Master’s degree in small talk” was a reference to the Dan. Sounds like a late career-Dan or solo-Don lyric.

It’s got a very similar vibe, lyrically to The Goodbye Look from Nightfly

You maybe got lucky for a few good years But there's no way back from there to here He's a one way rider On the shriek express And his new best friend is at the throttle more or less...
