The Fader magazine just made their most recent "Icons" issue available as a free PDF download. Issue #61 is devoted to David Byrne, and features a quick, extremely sharp, bio-piece written by NYU "punk" professor Vivien Goldman that's worth tracking down. Even more engaging is the accompanying "life map" done by Zero per Zero: a visual transcription of Byrne's artistic career and influence into one funky-ass subway ride. See below.
"So the music was providing the problem and its solution in one three-minute package, as if it were saying, 'Life is sad, but the solution is dance.' I thought, 'that combination feels great'"
--David Byrne
