David Byrne visits San Francisco
October 15, 2008
Since none of the local bloggers I read seem to have noticed this and I haven’t posted anything in a while, I thought I’d link these two blog postings by David Byrne. I have always been a great admirer of Mr. Byrne; the soundtrack to Stop Making Sense was one of the earliest rock albums I owned and as a result my singing voice is irrevocably influenced my him, as anyone who’s joined me for karaoke can attest.
I wasn’t fortunate enough to catch either one of his two shows in SF this week, but you can read Mr. Byrne’s own impressions of his visit to San Francisco on his blog here: part 1 and part 2. It’s kind of a kick to read about him biking around the city to some spots that I know well, and I feel a little disappointed that I didn’t run into him, although really what would I say?
At any rate, his blog is unusually thoughtful and is always an interesting read. There’s also a (quite positive) review of his Monday night set at local music blog Hippies are Dead.
