      Last song of the first set. They did this concert in 2 parts. His 'any questions' line is actually overdubbed, on the album he says they're taking a short break and will be right back.

    "Life During Wartime" is a song by the American rock band Talking Heads, released in 1979 on their album "Fear of Music". The song's lyrics describe a dystopian, post-apocalyptic world where people are forced to live in hiding and scavenge for survival, as the government and military have collapsed. The song's upbeat and energetic musical style contrasts with its dark subject matter, and has made it one of Talking Heads' most popular and enduring songs.
    The song's opening lines, "Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons / Packed up and ready to go", have been interpreted as a reference to the radical left-wing group, the Weather Underground, who were known for their militant actions during the 1960s and 70s. The song has also been interpreted as a commentary on the political and social climate of the late 1970s, a time of economic recession and political turmoil in the United States.
    "Life During Wartime" has been covered by numerous artists and has been featured in several films and TV shows, including "The Sopranos" and "The Simpsons". Its iconic bass line and driving rhythm have made it a staple of dance floors and rock clubs for decades.

    Lyrics:
    Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons,
    Packed up and ready to go
    Heard of some grave sites, out by the highway,
    A place where nobody knows
    The sound of gunfire, off in the distance,
    I'm getting used to it now
    Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto,
    I've lived all over this town
    This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
    This ain't no fooling around
    No time for dancing, or lovey dovey,
    I ain't got time for that now
    Transmit the message, to the receiver,
    Hope for an answer some day
    I got three passports, a couple of visas,
    You don't even know my real name
    High on a hillside, the trucks are loading,
    Everything's ready to roll
    I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime,
    I might not ever get home
    This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
    This ain't no fooling around
    This ain't no Mudd Club, or C. B. G. B.,
    I ain't got time for that now
    Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
    Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.?
    You oughta know not to stand by the window
    Somebody see you up there
    I got some groceries, some peanut butter,
    To last a couple of days
    But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones,
    Ain't got no records to play
    Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
    Gonna be different this time
    Can't write a letter, can't send no postcard,
    I ain't got time for that now
    Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock,
    We blended in with the crowd
    We got computers, we're tapping phone lines,
    I know that that ain't allowed
    We dress like students, we dress like housewives,
    Or in a suit and a tie
    I changed my hairstyle, so many times now,
    I don't know what I look like!
    You make me shiver, I feel so tender,
    We make a pretty good team
    Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving,
    You ought to get you some sleep
    Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
    They won't help me survive
    My chest is aching, burns like a furnace,
    The burning keeps me alive

      I don’t think they “slipped through the cracks” at all. They were and still are recognized for their incredible talent and their contributions to music in general. I do agree with your influence observation. I’ve been thinking about that since I read it and I’m pretty sure every band I’m a fan of today lists The Talking Heads as one of their influences. They were so versatile that they get mentioned by bands from almost every genre that I can think of.
