Summary: 

>The author stated that, until Eno, Talking Heads was an "ordinary new wave
>band". I disagree. 

I agree, they were not an ordinary new wave band, I like the first
couple of albums the best.

>They're not quite as angry anymore, they're popular and David Byrne is in love.
>This has definitly got to change their perspective. 

This probably explains why in their "Stop Making Sense Movie" that in
spite of the lyrics "this ain't no disco, this ain't no party" in "Life
During Wartime" they play the song with a disco beat and they're having
so much fun it sure looks like a party.

>As much as I preferred seeing Talking Heads in the smaller 
>clubs,

I prefer seeing everyone in smaller clubs, I think a concert in a
stadium is ridiculous.
