And laxgirl16, Right! The gradually rising distortion represents how overwhelming and nullifying the barrage of consumerism is. It's so brilliant. I know this. For years I struggled with depression and feelings of inadequacy. I stopped watching television for 3 solid years and found that those troubles all evaporated. During that period I found Sleater-Kinney very empowering and affirming. |

Oh pumpkineater if you are still out there, I hope that 2 years on you no longer think these sort of ideas as 'nerdy.' You are on to some fundamental truths of American Culture here. This song always makes me think about Naomi Klein's book 'No Logo' |

Wow. I did not know that. After 25 years of hearing this song on and off I always presumed it was Swahili or something. When I clicked to this page I was hoping for a translation. LQTMS Learning the truth is even more interesting, so thanks for that. Guess I'll go look up Hugo Ball. |

I would not advocate for or against drug use in general. That is a very personal decision. I am certain, though, that if everyone took LSD at least once the world would be a better place. |

David Byrne often claims to be writing in character, so whether this song reflects his attitude or not is unknown. He seems to be directly describing the Attitude New Yorker and Los Angeles 'elite' types have about the rest of the USA when they refer to the "flyover" region. I think this is one the most melodic Talking Heads songs, bolstered by that slide guitar. |
