      According to "Well How Did We Get Here? A Brief History of Talking Heads", after moving to New York, Chris and David couldn't find a bass player, so they asked Chris' girlfriend, Tina, to learn to play the bass.

    I heard Talking Heads for the first time when I was 15 in the early eighties. I was living in Kalgoorlie Western Australia. I went on work experience at the local television station. The station manager drove me in his car a Datsun 1800 to get our lunch. This song was playing in his car as we drove along. I asked him who it was and I was hooked. Great music and I still listen to them.

      @gmancolo I agree that the baselines that sid vicious played are very easy to copy however like I said a minute ago watch Phil Lesh play bass...... A lot of non dead fans don't know that he was a classically trained horn player who learned bass solely at Jerry Garcia's suggestion and he plays it like he invented it nobody plays bass like him and nobody can play bass like him....ua-cam.com/video/1t_2adGvG7k/v-deo.html. Just watch the beginning here he plays more notes in this little lick than sid vicious played on the entire album I think

And David - warts and all, what a great artist. They all are. Being in a band is tough, and these guys have their war stories. Wonderful to see them together as everyone would agree. One of the greatest of all time. Shout out to Tom Tom Club too! This version, of this song, is fantastic. Hard to imagine this is their LAST LIVE PERFORMANCE - come on guys... if the Stones and U2 are out all the time, you can do it one more time... and David, you seemed to have mellowed a little... your band... this band... the band... Chris and Tina's band... Jerry's band... is one of the greatest of all time. It's a BAND. First ballot hall of fame. One of the greatest of all time. Art is about looking back and forward. Get out there guys. We want to see you. Some of us never did. It's now or never!

And as an autistic person myself, it's very difficult to fully cooperate and commit to a group activity like a band or similar, especially for such a long time, and especially when music tastes change over the years between members. It's no surprise that there would be friction between the members, but even then it's definitely not entirely David's fault, as supposedly David and Jerry are still on good terms, but same cannot be said for David and Chris/Tina which makes you wonder if it really was entirely David's fault like the TomTom pair say.
