    Regisseur Spike Lee documenteert de briljante en tijdloze Broadway-show uit 2019 van voormalig Talking Heads-frontman David Byrne, gebaseerd op zijn gelijknamige, meest recente album en tour.
    Het uitbundige en intrigerende concert American Utopia van David Byrne verlichtte vorig jaar Broadway met Byrnes kenmerkende, ritmische en inspirerende nummers. Hij werkte hiervoor met een levendige, nieuwe band en dansers uit de hele wereld en transformeerde zijn muziek in een tegengif tegen de polarisatie in Amerika en de rest van de wereld.
    Spike Lee bracht het bijzondere theaterstuk naar het grote doek als een oproep om met elkaar te verbinden, ongelijkheid te bestrijden en om, bovenal, het leven te vieren.
    David Byrne’s American Utopia roept ons allen op om na te denken, te verbinden en mee te dansen. Het muzikale meesterwerk zet aan tot nadenken en geeft ons precies wat we in deze tijd nodig hebben.
    Met onder andere Talking Heads-klassiekers als “Burning Down the House”, “Road to Nowhere” en “Once in a Lifetime”, maar ook nieuwe nummers als “Here” en een indrukwekkende cover van Janelle Monáe’s “Hell You Talmbout”. Bij het laatstgenoemde nummer zingt de band de namen van zwarte Amerikanen die zijn overleden door politiegeweld. Spike Lee’s krachtige beelden brengen de registratie naar het nu.

    David still sounds good with his powerful voice and theatrics. And we have to love his truthful lyrics telling us that we're in for nasty weather, thanks for the warning David. Many songs and music videos from the 80s tell truth only we don't get it until its pointed out. Kate Bush "Experiment IV." is a good one as well.
    Watch out you might get what you're after
    Boom babies strange but not a stranger
    I'm an ordinary guy
    Burning down the house
    Hold tight wait till the party's over
    Hold tight We're in for nasty weather
    There has got to be a way
    Burning down the house
    Here's your ticket pack your bag
    Time for jumpin' overboard
    The transportation is here
    Close enough but not too far,
    Maybe you know where you are
    Fightin' fire with fire
    All wet! Hey you might need a raincoat
    Shakedown! Dreams walking in broad daylight
    Three hun-dred six-ty five de-grees
    Burning down the house
    It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
    Gonna come in first place
    People on their way to work and baby what did you except
    Gonna burst into flame
    My house! Is out of the ordinary
    That's right! Don't wanna hurt nobody
    Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
    Burning down the house
    No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet
    Everything's stuck together
    And I don't know what you expect starring into the TV set
    Fighting fire with fire

      @@GarageBeverages I just learned of this show and came randomly across this comment, lol. My understanding is this was a pretty massive technological challenge pulling off a "marching band" with a bunch of electric instruments. They used quite a bit of RF transmitters and other tricks to pull off the music sounding so good despite having no cables on stage. It seems pretty impressive/innovative to me anyways.
