David Byrne burns U2


he commented on their over-the-top spending on his BLOG:

"Those stadium shows may possibly be the most extravagant and expensive (production-wise) ever: $40 million to build the stage and, having done the math, we estimate 200 semi trucks crisscrossing Europe for the duration. It could be professional envy speaking here, but it sure looks like, well, overkill, and just a wee bit out of balance given all the starving people in Africa and all."

just another reason to love the Talking Heads man.

Valid point. I mean take away a couple screens and they can feed a town for a year.
