David Byrne's American Utopia

Brilliant

(Edit) 02/02/2021

I've been a fan of Talking Heads since 1977 and I loved this. Only slightly let down by some subtle anti-Trump, pro-BLM segments which I fast forwarded through. Particularly jarring for David Byrne to do that kind of thing because it's very much out of character when you consider his music over the decades. Still, that's a minor niggle - I still strongly recommend this DVD
