Chris Frantz's memoir tells the story of his life with Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, and his life-long love affair with Tina Weymouth. He remembers the early performances at CBGB alongside the Ramones, Patti Smith, Television, and Blondie, as well as recording the game-changing albums, Talking Heads '77, More Songs About Buildings And Food, Fear Of Music, and Remain In Light.
