goes into David Byrne's recurring theme of searching for a home ("find myself a city to live in") as also explored in "The Big Country" and "Don't Worry About the Government."
not to mention, "you may find yourself living..." etc etc.

David went to the Rhode Island School of Design. Wouldn't be surprised if it were a standard exercise--for sparking creativity--to play "what if?" games.

seems any printed source w/info on Talking Heads always mentions Byrne having gone to RISD.

a bit of info---either disillusioning or demystifying, depending on attitude/perspective--in an issue of Mojo magazine devoted to "New Wave": David didn't graduate from RISD. Actually, he was given the boot. He showed little interest in working with traditional media, being almost entirely immersed in the conceptual field: and most of his work was confrontational. Examples: eating glass; wearing a beard--of which half had been shaven off--perfectly cleanly left-to-right; performing not-quite-nude with a map of the United States painted on his body. The faculty were baffled and didn't want to deal with him.
