Talking Heads clarify the risks and challenges of our time. No wonder David Byrne has that spooky stare. He sees things. WRITTEN & ILLUSTRATED by PETER MOORE
I'm not really familiar with Talking Heads. I think "This Must Be the Place" has a great gentle beat, but I had to look up the lyrics - simply could not understand the words w/music. And that probably says more about me than it does about the music. Talking Heads reached their commercial peak in 1983 (per Mr. Google) and about then my husband had just finished having 6 heart attacks in 4 years, w/ a heart transplant in 1984. So I was kinda busy, full-time job, two kids in middle/high school. The other song, Life during Wartime - I also had to look up those lyrics - I'm not sure I followed the message - I got the idea they were draft dodgers, but hell, I'm older than dirt, what do I know!? Do youlike reggae music, same kind of sweet, gentle beat as in This Must Be the Place. I enjoy your writing, diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks re: the music though!
The Heads were huge right as I was coming out of college, without a care in the world and kids still a decade away. I had plenty of time to dance my ass off in music clubs. And as you say, to each his own. But thx for hanging in there as I went on and on about a group you don’t know! I’m with you on reggae! I shot the sheriff but I did NOT shoot the deputy.
Back under the tractor beam of David Byrne’s stare, asking: What the hell are we on about, now? Here we are again. Let's hope this chaos and carnage ends soon. Thank you, Peter!🕊️
The writing of this one is purely awesome. The drawings are unique and creative and applicable. I really enjoy your work thank you.
Thanks for joining me here Kathy. Great to have you with me on the Road2Elsewhere.

I am in awe your words awaken me to all that is happening I can only hope we can find our way out of this
We’ll find our way together.
The world goes round and round and so do WARS. Just can't get away from them. SAD
