[edit] Autism
there is no mention of the fact that he is autistic even though it is an important part of his biography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.149.85.46 (talk) 05:05, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
He isn't. 82.25.108.240 (talk) 10:47, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
Is there a better picture available? The one now looks like a mannequin playing guitar; it's not really helpful. Bamos 02:30, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC) No kidding. It's lame. 69.157.0.206 02:45, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Lazy
There is no mention of his more recent hit Lazy either here or on the Talking Heads page. I'd put something in myself but don't really know much about it --KayEss 20:20, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Like Humans Do - windows ME?
I'm pretty sure the song Like Humans Do was (at least first) bundled with Windows ME, not Windows XP.. can anyone verify? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.3.235.241 (talk) 05:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC).
- It was Windows XP. I've added a reference. -- Mikeblas 15:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Low quality Picture
we need to find a better quality picture.68.40.68.43 15:57, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Window XP Promotional use
I've again replaced the well-referenced use of Byrne's song with the release of a version of Windows Media Player. This distribution put the song in front of millions of people, and is not unlike a single release in this regard. I haven't heard complete reasons for removing the text outside of edit summaries, but if the text is removed again I think we should pursue a third opinion. -- Mikeblas 00:52, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Care to show me where in reference 1 or 2 David is quoted as saying "an achievment described by Byrne as "that moment in one's career that makes all of it worthwhile?" 199.185.10.23 19:49, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Maryland
Something should be said about the incredible art scene in Maryland that David Byrne was influenced by, and grew up in, (that incuded his contemporary John Waters, among other notables). But then that would blow Maryland's role as a state that people are barely aware of !

[edit] American?
The opening sentence refers to David Byrne as an "American musician", even thugh the article itself states that he was born in Scotland, then moved to Canada. Does this count as "American"? Calgary (talk) 22:31, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- The opening paragraph says he currently lives in New York City. If he's an American citizen, then I think it's fair to call him American--especially considering that he was still a child when he left Canada. TheScotch (talk) 11:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
