i have a higher opinion of david byrne.i've seen eraserhead a few times - it is askew but also seems very self-conscious. on its own it stands up all right, but after seeing elephant man and blue velvet it falls apart a bit. i think lynch's themes are less personality disorder (as he likes to affect, or his fans like to pretend) and more 'look how daring i am!' attention grabbery.
byrne seems more engaged, more genuinely interested in exploring and less worried about reactions. beyond 3 or 4 great albums, he's gone on to do so much that has been well out of the public eye, particularly the mass media public. i think his legacy will be much greater.

I saw David Byrne perform in a tiny venue in Princeton.It was the best gig I ever saw, or ever hope to see. It was fucking transcendent.
