Check out what the former Talking Heads member and now independent musician had to say about Vancouver’s mayor in his blog here.
I thought he might mention Gregor’s stellar performance in the audience, where he waved his lit-up Blackberry, instead of a match or lighter, to show his enthusiasm during Byrne’s recent concert here in VAncouver. But no, it’s all about public policy. Read on anyway.

Can’t wait for citycaucus to tell us why talking heads now suck.

I love TH. Lots of great stuff. Is there a better song than Psycho Killer?
Lets keep in mind though that most musicians that have been doing it as long as these guys may have a lot of perspective from traveling the world, but they also may not have graduated high school and have been living in the warped reality life of popular musicians.
The day we start listening or agreeing with public policy from the likes of Mr. Byrne, Bruce Springsteen, or Snoop Dog we have some problems.

Perhaps we are inclined to listen to Byrne because he appears to be thoughtful and measured. Our public policy discussions would be well-served if our local “experts” took a rhetorical cue or two from him.

I see Mr. Byrne got away with taking a photo inside the gallery, something I was almost asked to leave for doing with the staircase.
Aside, what a great writeup of his visit. Sometimes it takes fresh eyes and clear writing to remind you of what’s right under your nose.
