Description

Two iconic bands. An unforgettable life.

This program is read by Chris Frantz.

One of the most dynamic groups of the ‘70s and ‘80s, Talking Heads, founded by drummer Chris Frantz, his girlfriend, Tina Weymouth, and lead singer David Byrne, burst onto the music scene, playing at CBGB, touring Europe with the Ramones, and creating hits like "Psycho Killer" and "Burning Down the House" that captured the post-baby boom generation’s intense, affectless style.

In Remain in Love, Frantz writes about the beginnings of Talking Heads - their days as art students in Providence, moving to the sparse Chrystie Street loft Frantz, Weymouth, and Byrne shared where the music that defined an era was written. With immersive vivid detail, Frantz describes life on tour, down to the meals eaten and the clothes worn - and reveals the mechanics of a long and complicated working relationship with a mercurial frontman.

At the heart of Remain in Love is Frantz’s love for Weymouth: their once-in-a-lifetime connection as lovers, musicians, and bandmates and how their creativity surged with the creation of their own band Tom Tom Club, bringing a fresh Afro-Caribbean beat to hits like "Genius of Love".

Studded with memorable places and names from the era - Grace Jones, Andy Warhol, Stephen Sprouse, Lou Reed, Brian Eno, and Debbie Harry among them - Remain in Love is a frank and open memoir of an emblematic life in music and in love.

So many good stories

So many good stories.

I particularly appreciated the author’s somewhat deadpan delivery. It made his stories more personal.

A Great Listen!

I loved this book and especially the narration by the author. it was great to go back in time and to hear about the birth of such important music; but what I enjoyed the most was the love story of Chris and my favourite base player ever.....Tina!

An Ego and drug fuelled disaster

I don't dislike a lot of books but I hated this one. The arrogance of the narrator - I put the speed up to 1.25x - as it was just a bitter fest against David Byrne, coupled with a weird love-letter to his wife. And drugs. Lots and lots of drugs. He took heroin with a Rolling Stone but not Keith Richards. And everything is groovy or cool or all sort of adjectives that belonged in the hippie era. And the narration: I have dish cloths with better charisma.

And ridiculous listing...list after list after list.

Oh, and the pronunciations. He can't even pronounce Liverpool and the torture of European place names. I regret ever buying this book.
