What are you reading Chapter 4

I'm still plugging my way through this one. It's a fun, light read and all the chapters are basically independent of each other, so you can pick it up and put it down whenever you want.

Decided not to post the cover seeing as how I got two points yesterday for posting a picture of a sexually explicit carrot!:laugh: Thunders insisted on putting a syringe in his hat band so didn't think that could go over very well here, I don't like points.
Still reading the Bolton book but I'll pick up books like these than you can zip through to lighten it up while reading heavy books such as Bolton's.

How is it? I’ve thought about getting it a few times.

It's pretty good! If you're a fan of David Byrne, you'll particularly like it. I'm finding that quite a bit more of the book than I expected is about his career. I really liked the opening chapter which is more of a look at the varying roles of music in society, and how the intention of the music informs its creation. I wish the whole book was about that kind of thing. I'm a little over halfway through, and most of it has been about things he has done and what he learned from them. Not necessarily a bad thing, but not what I expected.

Cool, good to know, thanks. I know a bit about Talking Heads, not so much about his solo stuff or his later collaborations.
