I think we're all born with something wrong with us, and that was mine.
Let's go to the music.
Tell me about your next choice.
Talking Heads.
So going back to my friends with the Tolerant Mother, John, he was called.
All right, John?
I remember him one weekend saying, I've got this new record, Talking Heads.
It was Remain in Light.
He puts this thing on and it was like a bomb going off in my head.
I'd literally never heard anything like it and didn't realise that you could put people into a trance like that.
I later realised that his influences were from Fela Kuti and Afrobeat and all that stuff.
But Talking Heads did something with a studio that had never been done before.
And even at a young age, I could kind of see that.
And still now, it's not like anything else ever.
And I would ask, and you're going to say no because there's rules about this thing, but I'd have to say, I'd have to take the whole record.
Oh, come on, please.
Don't do me that way, Tom.
It's a bold play.
It's not going to happen, is it?
It's a disc thing.
