He tells us a story about how a song he wrote – "Everybody's Coming to My House" – sounds like it's an invitation for the houseguests to leave when he sings it, but sounds like a call for company in the hands (and voice) of someone else. He tells us a story about using the money from his first record contract to buy a TV. We hang on his words, both spoken and sung. He has a charming, goofy energy – he seems nervous, yet in complete control. Through it all, Byrne and company perform songs, some from Byrne's Talking Head's days.
