The Stories Behind Every Song
Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime is a superbly illustrated in-depth examination of arguably the most significant band to emerge from the late-'70s New York punk scene. Led by guitarist-vocalist David Byrne the band enjoyed major chart success on both sides of the Atlantic. Their infectious incendiary singles like "Road to Nowhere" "Psycho Killer" and "Once in a Lifetime" punctuated an influential 17-year career. Talking Heads eventually assembled a body of raw yet intellectual rock music second to none. Author Ian Gittins has written about music and popular culture for publications on both sides of the Atlantic for over 15 years . 144 pages.
