True story: David Byrne rode in my Honda Civic. He was doing a studio visit at the UCLA school of art, and he got hungry for lunch and some alone time. My wife, a student there at the time, drove him to a sandwich shop nearby.
He was at UCLA showing some photos he had been taking, and doing studio visits with the MFA (not BFA) students at UCLA's (very prestigious) art school. He's quite unassuming.
He's also not an old fogey. If he says something is wrong, he's worth listening to, even though he's largely repeating other sources and familiar stories.
His message is not what we want to hear. We want to hear that the Internet is a win all around, except for dinosaurs that deserve to be disrupted anyway. It's hard to make the case that indie musicians needed to be disrupted.
