About this ebook
A captivating memoir of art, music, love, and life with Talking Heads, one of the most influential bands of the '70s and '80s.
In Remain in Love, drummer Chris Frantz shares the story of Talking Heads, from their humble beginnings as art students in Providence to their rise as one of the most iconic bands of the era. With never-before-seen photos and vivid detail, Frantz takes readers on a journey through the band's early days living and writing music in a sparse Chrystie Street loft, to life on tour and the creation of hits like "Psycho Killer" and "Burning Down the House" that captured the post-baby boom generation's intense style.
At the heart of the memoir is Frantz's love for Tina Weymouth, his girlfriend and bandmate, and the formation of their own band Tom Tom Club, infusing hits like "Genius of Love" with an Afro-Caribbean beat. Filled with memorable stories of Andy Warhol, Lou Reed, Brian Eno, Debbie Harry, and more, Remain in Love offers a frank and open look at an emblematic life in music and love that defined an era.

I started this book and I didn't finish it because the book didn't actually talk about what was going on while Talking Heads were touring. It seems like their memory may have betrayed them and they couldn't actually make up details and scenarios that sounded realistic. They would talk about where they played and what they ate at different gourmet restaurants but they never talked about what it was like to be on stage and about the craft of music.
