Is david byrne gay

David Byrne (/ bɜːrn /; born May 14, ) is an American musician, writer, visual artist, and filmmaker. He was a founding member, principal songwriter, lead singer, and guitarist of the American new wave band Talking Heads.

David Byrne is not gay. David Byrne has never said out loud what his sexual orientation is. Respecting someone’s privacy means not making assumptions about their sexual orientation or gender identity without their permission. Earlier this year, he released ‘American Utopia’, a “whimsical, weird and totally wonderful” record but one conspicuous for the lack of female artists involved.

Here are ten things you (possibly) never knew about him – – –.

1. He was chucked out of the school choir, something he ascribed to his “yelpy” voice. David Byrne has also been romantically linked to singer-songwriter St. Vincent, also known as Annie Clark. Although their relationship was never publicly confirmed, they collaborated on the album "Love This Giant" in , sparking rumors of a romantic connection. On Twitter/X, a clip recently started circulating giving us Byrne in —at peak levels of cuteness—judging a vogueing contest.

And it’s every bit as wholesome as you’d expect. I recall reading about his wife or long-time female partner or whatever she is. I also wonder what prompts people to ask if someone is gay or a lesbian. I wasn't sure which thread this should go on but it appears far more people have opinions regarding the 'babes rather than Mr Byrne so I thought it'd be safest here.

I guess I should have qualified my luaka bop comment; the music itself isn't bad, it's just something about the label that's so patronizing and smacks of colonialism. As for the Talking Heads, I really think they are completely overrated. There's just something completely irritating about them that I can't get past, even Eno couldn't save one of their albums for me.

This accusation gets bandied about a lot when people try to give some exposure to world music. I don't know why exactly. Anyone got any idea? I don't quite mean that. I remember when I was in high school - early to mid 80s, and I tried to buy a Talking Heads album, and the long haired rock critic wannabe rocker dude at the counter ridiculed me and told me to put it back because I should be embarrassed to have it.

Being really wimpy back then, I did what I was told. The one good thing was that I picked up the VU live album with the lady's butt on the cover. He approved of that. God, was I a wuss. But I have all of those albums now. Anyway, I think I don't like TH because I'm always reminded of that episode whenever the subject comes up. I like Talking Heads a lot. I'm confused. Seems we have two competing versions of "history" here, and as a practicing wuss albeit an over one , I will defer to the judgment of the victor.

As a bonus, the winner gets a column in the local suburban music magazine of his choice. That was The The. Talking Heads may have 'busted down doors,' yadda yadda ya. If you don't like that fact, go to hell -- and I mean that as politely as possible, but the point is, you're not me and I'm not you. Didn't we already have that type of discussion on the Elvis Costello thread? The video shows a dark but oh so tastefully lit urban scene in a back alley somewhere or a deserted street, mysteriously without a bit of graffiti anywhere, or trash.

Everything seems slick and wet, except that since there's no rain, so clearly it all came from the overexerting sweat glands of our wannabe Tom Jones or whoever. A red Ferrari provides a prop for an artificially enhanced, liposuctioned and equally baked and molded bleach-blonde model to pout moodily over while looking at the camera.

And during some part of this montrosity, a sax solo. Fucking fuck. I liked that. I actually don't think he's gay, but whatever. I'm not a big fan of David Byrne, so I'll let the fans decide.
