David Byrne
was interviewed as a guest of The Colbert Report, got nailed,
performed a song and got nailed again!

• a musical pioneer and innovator, who once fronted Talking Heads.
  • when Dr. Colbert is done with him, he'll start making sense

March 2, 2009 NailingEdit

• new album Everything That Happens Will Happen Today
  • self-released
  • Dr. Colbert doesn't know if the album is any good because a record executive hasn't stated it's worth by virtue of his publishing it
    • Dr. Colbert didn't know if his book was any good until Time Warner said they would publish it (convincing him that he did indeed write a good book)

• Byrne put it online allowing people to preview it
  • he mistakenly believed it would limit people's listening to the song when they're by their computer
    • Stephen keeps his computer on the dashboard of his car

• Stephen discusses some lyrical issues
• he has found himself behind the wheel of a large automobile (Audi AAL, a sweet ride, giving the driver the sensation of running people over with your couch) and he has a beautiful house and a beautiful wife
  • not once has he asked himself, "How did I get here?"
• Stephen's driver, Pablo, took him here today Z(and is responsible for a lot of how Stephen got to where he is in his life at this particular time)
  • Byrne wants to meet Pablo

• Byrne is a musician, visual artist and computer embroiderer
  • being innovative may get stale; it would interesting if he did something ordinary

• Dr. Colbert's theory about artists: they are afraid of being ordinary
  • mistaking what which is ordinary with that which is common among people

• in the dark of night David Byrne fears that David Byrne is actually like everybody else
  • it was the first time any of Dr. Colbert's interviews ever got that deep
