    Here's a great little short (8-minute) film about Tina, which also features her husband and bandmate, Chris, who's from Fort Campbell, KY:
    ua-cam.com/video/rY_BfWwbCrw/v-deo.html
    It gives some background on the history of Talking Heads, as well as some trivia of how she came up with the bass line for Psycho Killer.
    Some more Tina Trivia: she and Chris formed a side project called The Tom Tom Club , and their song, Genius of Love, was sampled by Mariah Carey in "Fantasy," and recently by Latto in "Big Energy."

    Best all time Halloween song is "D.O.A." by Bloodrock. Yeah, Byrne was a little weird, you should watch some of their concert footage--which puts me in mind of Sparks--performances were kind of funny and a little spooky. And if you want really weird, try Bryne's album with Brian Eno, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. "Jezebel Spirit" is awesome.
