here lies love

Here Lies LoveDavid Byrne gives his point of view on the cult of Imelda and the Marcos regime. It makes for a very interesting piece of entertainment/art presentation with music by Byrne and Fat Boy Slim, multimedia images and a performing cast. Always an interesting subject, Byrne traveled to the Philippines to do his Imelda research and reflects on the obvious -- public transportation, karaoke bars and whorehouses amid the apparently still strong influence of our Colonial past that we just can't seem to shake off. It's pop culture at its most interesting from a Talking Head perspective.
