Joan as Police Woman – life-saving songs from New York at the House of Music

David Byrne discussed his experiences of cycling in New York, particularly how it inspired his song "Valid Jagger" from the album "Damn Devotion." He wrote the song while cycling in the heat of 38 degrees Celsius in Bushwick, Brooklyn, where a melody came to him, prompting him to circle the block for about half an hour. Byrne noted that while the subway is a key transportation method in New York, it serves more as a place for observing humanity rather than songwriting. The conversation also hinted at a dynamic exchange between Byrne and the interviewer, raising questions about potential collaboration.
