How often do you get to see two incredibly creative artists discuss how music affects them? Okay, probably often in New York, but whatever—this lecture promises to be pretty great. Bike enthusiast and former Talking Head David Byrne speaks with DJ and Roots drummer Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson about the ways that music listening and writing connects with their world view at large, as part of the Public Forum’s Duets series at NYU's Skirball Center.
