Is David
Byrne angling for new mainstream viability? I know, it's not a "comeback," he hasn't gone anywhere. But first there's
this news. Then
he shows up on stage yelling "You Can Call Me Al" with Paul Simon. Successfully waving aside the gnats of revisionism, despite assaults from white boys who can't dismiss Vampire Weekend without alluding to "Afro-pop" (whatever that means), Rob reminds us of
Graceland's greatness ("neurotic wordplay as a second language") and makes a case for
The Rhythm of the Saints' too.
