Yesterday, former Super Awesome Sunday (fake) Vegetarian David Byrne showed up on The Colbert Report to talk about his new album (in collaboration with Brian Eno) Everything That Happens Will Happen Today (stream the album at that link), and Colbert talked to Byrne about an artist’s fear of being ordinary. It’s actually quite interesting, and goes quite a bit deeper than any other Colbert interview has ever been. Part of that had to do with Byrne being willing to open up to Colbert, which he doesn’t always do in interviews. Take a look.

Like I said, Byrne’s interviews don’t always go smoothly. Even when he interviews himself. This is on the extras section of the DVD Stop Making Sense.

My friends and I quite often say, “I’ll tell you later.” No one really gets it. But, now you do. Consider yourself lucky, I guess. Or, don’t. Whatever. Anyway, takepart with VH1’s Save the Music Foundation so the next generation of kids can grow up to be David Byrne. We need more of him.
