talking heads


Been listening to the "Best of" the Talking Heads and among the songs I didn't know before but love is "This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)" and the line:

"It's O.K. I know nothing's wrong."

... sticks out to me. I wait for it every time. How reassuring.

(highly recommended record)

The Wire: just a thought

Here's a thought:

Lester Freeman is "The Wire". In other words, he is what the title refers to. Of course there is the literal wire tap that goes on, but Lester is the one who puts it up. He is also a catalyst or an inner-antagonist... the ominous cheshire cat who insights the other characters. I'm suggesting that Freeman is the unsuspecting, unexpected central character.
Discuss.
