I love David Byrne! Thanks for posting!

When did you talk to him/ what did he say? (assuming it wasn't, you know, private... ;-)

I wish it had been private... couple of years ago he came to Montevideo and I was lucky enough to go (great show) and I waited outside. Here in Uruguay it's kinda safe for an artist to just walk around (he was in a bike), so he biked his way back to the hotel but he used some good 40 minutes talking to three of us. We talked some more cause I gave him some tips should he ever be interested in the roots of Uruguayan music, and he took notes of names and stuff. He's so... David. A little awkward, a little staring eyed (!!) and so sexy with that white hair. My heart was racing. I floated all the way back home.

What a lovely story!

I saw him in concert once (though I didn't talk to him!) and he was wonderful. I guess I had heard that he's as quirky in person as you would think he'd be from watching him on stage, but it's nice to hear about it first-hand. I'm trying to think of a non-dorky-sounding way to say "thanks for sharing" but, since David sounds to be quite sublimely dorky himself, I guess maybe I can just say it...Thanks! I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up in concert one of these days with some of the Uruguayans you told him about.

Just to let you know in case you haven't seen it yet (and because I have an unhealthy need for attention) : You and Morrissey are among the characters in a very silly holiday fic I wrote for all my LJ friends. It's the most recent entry on my journal. I'm not sure whether I got your first name right, you can let me know and I'll edit if you want.
