"when i was 16 or 17 i saw david hockney’s talking heads cover hanging up in a museum. i loved david hockney’s polaroid art, but the fact it was a record cover made me want the record, and got me into talking heads. i used to have a car back then and that’s where i listened to music. alone, driving fast down A1A on the florida coast, over the bridge and into the city. the city was boring but loud music made it alright. i played this song a lot cos it sounded cool, you know, kind of dangerous. i liked the words and i liked the adventures i imagined. cos fuck man, there was nothing going on where i was living back then"
alison mosshart’s short story based on talking heads song ‘psycho killer' for 'punk fiction’, an anthology of short stories inspired by punk songs. she’s so amazing.
