I'm supposed to begin trying an arson case today. Naturally enough, I suppose, my mind wandered to the Talking Heads.
About three minutes into the video of "Burning Down the House", a child is grabbing lead singer David Byrne's hand and using it to strum Byrne's guitar (I suppose with a name like Byrne, it was inevitable that the singer would perform a song involving fire). I'd recently found a video of the song "Use It" by the New Pornographers which made use of- and expanded- the "people as puppets" theme.
The New Pornographers? Wonder if they'd peddle their wares to people accused of arson? Porno for Pyros? Guess we've completed the circle.

You're a little too hip for a lawyer, Dave.
Well, see, I'm a public defender. We're not usually hip, but we're allowed to be.
Kind of like Peter Boyle as Lazlo in Where the Buffalo Roam ...
Now I know who you remind me of - a cross between Gary Busey before he went crazy and that French actor Gerard somethingorother???
Yes. I think that's it.
Peter Boyle was cool, Chase. Wonder why his folks didn't name him Lance.
I went to France a couple of years ago, Kate. I told the French- without changing my accent- that I was French. They didn't believe me.
Dave,
Some numskull walked off with my phone, send me your number.
And yeah, too hip to be forgotten, hey, hey!
Sorry about that sorry sack-o-jawea that stole your phone, AndyMan. Congrats on finishing your hunnerd miler over the weekend.
