As I was scanning AppleTV to find some new music videos (because MTV doesn’t show them anymore), I landed on YouTube where I would stumble upon the entire concert film from Director Jonathan Demme: The Talking Heads’ “Stop Making Sense.”
Over the course of the next 90 minutes I was just as enthralled from the couch with this infectious live concert performance as when I first saw it debut at the Goodrich Quad Cinema on 29th Street in 1984.
So you can imagine the excitement when I discovered that a former singer, Mystic Bowie of the Tom Tom Club, which is composed of The Talking Heads’s members Chris Franz and Tina Weymouth, would be in Western Michigan this weekend.
Mystic Bowie is the Jamaican-born ringleader of the band
Talking Dreads who will be at the Park Theatre this Saturday for a special concert of Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club hits reimagined in all their glory via the bands heavy reggae/Caribbean rhythmic style.
So if you want to sing along as you dance to the infectious popular songs like “Psycho Killer,” “Burning Down the House,” “This Must Be The Place,” and so many more re-imagined in a joyous and sunny performance on stage, then make the drive to Holland this weekend.
