Sorry the Ramones are such a laugh… Apparently The Talking Heads have a different opinion.. Fresh Air with Terry Gross on NPR: BYRNE: We opened for the Ramones. I think probably the first time, we didn't know them that well personally. We'd maybe said hello. GROSS: But musically... BYRNE: But musically, yes, we'd seen them play a couple of times there. And we knew what we were dealing with. We knew that... GROSS: What were you dealing with? BYRNE: We knew that they did kind of hilarious pop songs, but musically, it was like this roar. It was like standing next to a jet engine or something. And so - and we often got called, you know, an art rock band. But I think we also thought that the Ramones were very much an art rock band. It was very conceptual, what they did and how they did it and how they looked, and it was all very considered. So we really liked it. We didn't want to sound like them. That wasn't what we were doing. But we liked it. But we realized, wow, I don't think we can play after them. The audience will be kind stunned and maybe slightly deaf. But - so we'll go before. It was a wonderful time when the audiences were just curious about what was this new kind of pop music that was emerging downtown and in different places in London and elsewhere. They didn't know much about any of it. So they were just curious, and they would go, oh, this band sounds like a jet engine playing pop music, and this one is kind of this twitchy, kind of angsty songs as well. They accepted all of it.” An era of acceptance, wish we had that back fizzle…
