Oh Talking Heads....David Byrne.......I so like his mind!!! I think "once in a lifetime" would come to the desert island. Now I am sure this has been a topic that rears its head all over the various lists but could any of us choose 10 tracks a la "Desert Island Discs" (BBC Radio 4 every friday at 9 am) that would be soooo unbelievably hard just to only have the 10.. but for my luxury/fantasy item it would probably be the entire lineup from the '70 Isle of wight concert. Couldn't go and see it, too young but what a lineup!!!
and of course I would get to have Joni there And that would be wonderful except that Blue and Court and Spark were still in the making but I would have some great stuff anyway.... OK forget the choice of records.... Who would any of us invite to a dinner party... from all spheres of life and from all eras of history with no problem about understanding their language and all of them eating whatever you put in front of them? Smoking would be entirely permitted... and no one would complain Mine would be Joni, Degas, Rodin, TS Eliot, and WB Yeats, Katherine the Great, Gary Larson, Garrison Keillor, Alan Rickman, Adolph Hitler and Mother Teresa, Anna Akhmatova, Margaret Atwood, Virginia Woolf, Adrienne Rich, Dylan Thomas, David Byrne, Nelson Mandela, Tennyson, Martin Luther King, J F Kennedy, Winston Churchill, Marie Curie, Gallieleo, Caravaggio and finally, Edward Hopper.......... That would do for a cross section for me.... some arts, some sciences and some politics......They would each have to design a hat and wear it and explain why they had made the hat they wore and what it meant to them. Who would you all invite?
