passion release passion-for-music
If you have this passion for music, you don't stop doing it - it chooses you and doesn't release you.
music men thinking
When Talking Heads started, we called ourselves Thinking Man's Dance Music.
phases sometimes you-like-it
Sometimes, you have to go through a phase whether you like it or not.
music groove dialogue
We groove off of everything, any sort of live show. The inner dialogue you're having with yourself, between you and the music, is for me the search for God.
music together way
We don't really have more than acouple of solos. It's just the way our music is put together.
down-and excited neat
We don't always know what we're doing. We often just get excited, put something down, and say, 'Oh, neat'.
attitude people different
Tom Tom Club has a whole different attitude and approach, not just musically but in performance. Some people said they liked it.
voice rocks sight
I don't want to wreck my voice. I love to concentrate on playing the bass and keeping it very rock-solid. If I were singing, I would have blown out my voice.
differences language music-is
Make it, not make it? What's the difference? Music is a language, it's a dance of life, and it can be a part of your life without being something that earns.
audience gives great time
We're not getting paid. We have these great musicians with us and it gives us a real charge. And the audience gives us a charge, because they keep it interesting all the time.
