	These Talking Heads have plenty to say
		Three members of Talking Heads, David Byrne, Chris Frantz, and Tina Weymouth, were students at the Rhode Island School of Design before teaming up with Harvard grad Jerry Harrison to form the band and release their first album in 1977.
		Talking Heads inarguably had one classic live soundtrack, Stop Making Sense, and one good live album, The Name of This Band is Talking Heads.
		The expansion of the band, its new direction towards polyrhythmic funk based on improvisation, and its bright arrangements, in effect put Talking Heads in a category of its own, thus separating them from their former peers although its roots had been strikingly similar.

	CBS News Heaven For Dead Heads August 6, 2002 01:30:11
		A slice of the Dead's long-ago abandoned repertoire emerged to much delight on Saturday as the band ripped through a near-studio quality "Born Cross-eyed," a jumble of vocal hairpin turns the Dead almost never played.
		And while the music has all the Dead's bombast and psychedelic power, The Other Ones still have only the Dead's songs, which means for now they're a Grateful Dead cover band of the highest possible order - and not much more.
		It was the first time the original band members - Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh and Bob Weir - joined forces for a major concert since the death of band founder and lead singer Jerry Garcia in 1995.

	Time & Again - Jerry Garcia
		In making this announcement, the band members were especially mindful of their partners in adventure, the Dead Heads, urging them to remember the music, values and spirit of their marvelous shared journey.
		After four months of heartfelt consideration, the remaining members of the band met and came to the conclusion that the “long strange trip” of the uniquely wonderful beast known as the “Grateful Dead” was over.
		But there was another band with that name - they found a new name in the dictionary, The Grateful Dead.

	Amazon.ca: Books: One More Saturday Night: Reflections With the Grateful Dead, Dead Family, and Dead Heads
		With varying degrees of success, Troy attempts to articulate the Dead experience through 16 interviews with the Dead cognoscenti, including former managers, promoters, Dead Heads, and the band members.
		Until the definitive Grateful Dead story is written, this book stands in line with David Gans and Peter Simon's Playing in the Band (LJ 7/85), Blair Jackson's Grateful Dead: The Music Never Stopped (LJ 8/83), and Hank Harrison's The Dead (LJ 12/15/80) as a rock reminiscence of interest to fans; a luxury acquisition.
		What emerges from the dull introductory historical narrative of the band, liberal photographic assortment, and question-and-answer interview collage is a scrapbook of the Sixties and the band under whose aegis psychedelic and improvisatory rock music has flourished since 1965.

	Fallacies [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Get up here with us on the wagon where the band is playing, and go where we go, and don't think too much about the reasons.
		The assumption that it's a fair coin is important because, if the coin comes up heads five times in a row, one would otherwise become suspicious that it's not a fair coin and therefore properly conclude that the probably is high that heads is more likely on the next toss.
		If you suggest that someone's claim is correct simply because it's what most everyone is coming to believe, then you're committing the bandwagon fallacy.

		Talking Heads are artists transplanted from the tangible to the audible.
