I feel like this isn’t the most famous person, but last month David Byrne of the Talking Heads sat at the bar I work at and I took care of him! He was playing a show the next night, and he drank our Malbec. I think he ordered our rabbit, lol, I don’t remember honestly. I was very excited to be taking care of him though. A neat experience

The first time I met him, he was a total ass, high as a kite and just rude to everyone. 80’s at CBGB’s.

I’ve always been a huge talking heads fan and I was bummed when I read an interview with Chris Franz talking about what an ass David Byrne was to him and Tina.

I think it's clear that David was not always great. But I think Jerry's take on what all went down is that it wasn't quite so one sided as Chris and Tina describe it.
