Sell your soul (if necessary to go). That concert's simply amazing. David hasn't slowed down at all.

Ok, I'm feeling better about this concert. When I first read the description up there I was sorta thinking, uh, opera? I was still gonna go, but...David Byrne singing opera? Guess that's what I get for saying the Modest Mouse concert was too loud, huh?

But, I did a little google search and found this review of a recent show and it sounds pretty good. Better than just David Byrne singing some opera.

He's got white hair in that picture. That freaks me out, for some reason. I'm watching Stop Making Sense again (I went and bought the cd today so I can listen to it at work) and I guess some stupid part of my brain was thinking that I was gonna see the David Byrne I'm watching on my tv.

I want a time machine.
