Talking Heads- Take Me to the River- WCOZ, Boston 11-17-77
the first time that I met legendary songwriter/ guitarist the late Teenie Hodges was at a Talking Heads record release party for “Fear of Music” in Memphis in 1979.

No doubt the non-stop pace of nearly constant touring partly was to blame, but there was something darker and even more sinister which no one outside the band knew, nor anyone in it would admit. This tour had casualties…United once again in Eternity, Gary Rossington, Leon Wilkeson, & Ed King played it like they felt it here In the Studio.
