POLL Me Up Up Up Up Up Up Up Up – TALKING HEADS – ILM Artist Poll #82 - (The Results Thread)

In “Cities” he recants “The Big Country” and embraces the tumult and dirt

Isn’t the narrator of The Big Country saying that cities are the only places worth living?

the narrator of 'the big country' loves the small towns so much that he wouldn't - couldn't, even - accept payment for the honor of living in one. he expresses admiration for the way that people do things there, and the way that they live, which again, he claims is beyond his capabilities. but just to make clear his allegiance, he addresses them as "siree!", his attempt to meet them halfway

I hope you’re a Genius contributor

what i hope to do is combine my opinions with more extreme certainty before adding a final dose of mild but persistent antagonism toward anyone who hears it in a different way

there was a big discussion on big country on some thread, cannot remember it now or find it, but it was prairie rose vs. big country in terms of perspective

"Hey, listen. I'll do some driving, ok? You go ahead and get some sleep."
