Horn Sections Make Rock Better: [Nothing But] Flowers

My favorite Talking Heads song. The video is charming: They (including Kristy MacColl and Johnny Marr) are having fun. I wonder how the occasional facts meant to motivate political action rest with Byrne’s claim that he “was an angry young man” who would “pretend that [he] was a billboard.”

Regardless, it all seems ahead of its time. How much abandoned commercial real estate is near you? Will our cars stop running on gasoline? And–can we get used to this lifestyle?
