I work with heaps of Nigerian folks in tech, they’re wonderful. I mean, everyone is, really.

New West is a wonderful source of sluts of all varieties.

How so? My point is that her successful transition to bass isn’t that surprising given what an accomplished artist and musician she already was prior to joining the band.

Tina Weymouth is an incredible musician and artist, and was hardly a “diddling amateur” prior to joining Talking Heads. She’d been playing and writing music for more than 10 years by the time she joined Talking Heads (then called Artistics) in ‘74. She was a ringer and everyone knew it. More so, she was an accomplished artist, so creative expression was literally her entire life. Chris Frantz repeatedly tried to convince her to join the band because he saw how incredibly talented and creative she was. She spent YEARS of hard work and dedication honing her skill and developing her creative voice before having the opportunity to showcase her talents with Talking Heads. In my opinion, the notion that she somehow came out of nowhere when she started with Talking Heads is not only inaccurate, but does a disservice to Weymouth’s artistic talents and discounts all the hard work she put in to develop those skills as a musician and as an artist prior to joining the band.

I mean, she’d be playing guitar since she was 14 (and piano before that), so it wasn’t that much of a leap.

There is no god.

Life, uh… finds a way!

Sting and David Bowie’s secret lovechild

My son learned to read by age 4, and this man is pretty much the reason why.

Hey, Australians aren’t all bad

Just jokes! It is a lot cleaner than it used to be, you’re right.

I used to live in London 25 years ago and it was a dirty, grimy, not-particularly-pleasant-smelling city back then.

A couple years ago I had to chance to visit and I was shocked at the change. It’s still a dirty, grimy, not-particularly-pleasant-smelling city, but all the Pret-a-mangers had been replaced by LEONs.
