David Byrne and Thom Yorke on the Real Value of Music

Radiohead derived it’s name from a song by the same name that Byrne wrote while with Talking Heads (and yes, there should be no “the” before their name, ever; look it up). What starts out as an interview quickly turns into an enlightening conversation about music, both as a business and as an art form. It’s truly a treat to see the frontman of one of my favorite bands (Radiohead) engaged in dialog with the frontman of my all-time favorite band (Talking Heads). Don’t miss the audio on the left-hand side.
