Interview: David Byrne Shares True Stories From "True Stories"
Listen now
Description
We speak with Talking Heads' David Byrne about the Criterion Collection re-release of his 1986 film, True Stories and the first ever edition of that film's complete soundtrack. The film was Byrne's directorial debut and as it plaily puts it right at the start is "about a bunch of people in Virgil, Texas."
