When [Talking Heads] started out, they were just a trio and they were looking for a fourth member. We became friends but I ended up not joining the band. They were all from art school and into looking severe and cool. I was never into that… I think I maybe had a strong influence on one Talking Heads song — ‘I Zimbra’ on Life During Wartime. On that same album there’s a line, ‘This ain’t no disco,’ which, at the time, I took as David saying, ‘Disco sucks.’ I took that very personally.
Arthur Russell. Melody Maker, April 1987. (via microtracks)
