“Misfortune seemed to follow Roy Orbison around the highest points of his life. The house fire that took the lives of his two oldest sons as his star was rapidly rising is no small exception. The “Only the Lonely” singer was across the pond in Birmingham when he received the news that his house in Hendersonville…
New David Byrne Single
What’s the Reason For It? Latin with a Byrne fire lit under it. The rhythm of the music in this song is clear, if you like that sort of thing. This is the last single from his new record to be released soon.
Songwriting Inspirations #1
Songwriting pops up anywhere anytime. You could equate it with a ripe walnut falling from a tree. Sometimes the walnut lands a little distance away, ok; sometimes it nearly lands on you.

He added: “You get young guys, girls, coming up, and they write a beautiful song, and they don’t own it, and they don’t have anything to do with it. And anyone who wants can just rip it off.”He continued: “We’re the people, you’re the government! You’re supposed to protect us. That’s your job. So you…
“What technology has done to disrupt the music business in terms of not only how people listen to music but the value they place on it is defeating.” Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor offers damning critique of the state of music in 2024
I’ve been saying this about the music business for years. I guess that’s one reason I don’t sell many records. Music, because it’s so easy to get now is like breakfast cereal.
