David Byrne: Genius or just some dude acting weird?

Poll question: David Byrne: Genius or just some dude acting weird?

Well, I think one can safely say that Mr. Byrne is a supremely intelligent guy, but that doesn't necessarily qualify him as a genius.

Regardless, I think he is. Talking Heads were a band who were great at making white boy danceable funk while at the same time producing strange, yet vaguely understandable lyrics. I think all his nonsense has a point, but if I tried to explain it I'd come up horribly short.

2. I voted "he's alright" because I think "genius" is a rather big word...

...for a musician of any kind. And as much as I love Byrne/Heads and have remained a fan since the late 70's, let's not forget Brian Eno loomed large as their producer for their first half dozen records.

5. Very true about Eno

He was an integral part of their albums, no doubt.
