Sorry about the nightmares. That link to the "Slippery People" tripped something deep in my brain because I remembered there was something special about it that I'd heard when it came out in 1984. That led me to this - https://dangerousminds.net/comments/when_the_staple_singers_covered_talking_heads_on_soul_train - which reminded me that even though he's not with them on this Soul Train performance, David Byrne did play guitar on the version they recorded and that the Staple Singers had a long history of working with Byrne/Heads. I was also reminded that Byrne adapted his Stop Making Sense dance moves from things he saw in historically black churches.
