My Interview With Jonathan Gould, Author of 'Burning Down the House'


Burning Down the House: Talking Heads and the New York Scene That Transformed Rock 
is an exhaustive biography of the seminal band and the city that shaped them. For Paste, I talked to author Jonathan Gould (himself a musician) to discuss many things: David Byrne's autism, Stop Making Sense's greatness, and why the band is never ever getting back together. You can read my Q&A here.
