EPISODE SUMMARY:

It's not often that an artist knocks it out of the park with their first foray into creative expression. But then again, not everyone possesses that once-in-a-generation quality like art rockers Talking Heads, whose funky, poignant and irresistibly catchy yet innovative style has allowed them to maintain relevance well after their peak popularity. For comedian and actor Blake Anderson, it started with the first riff of the first song of their first album, 1977's Talking Heads: 77. And they haven't stopped grooving ever since.
