Squawking Head

Not that yesterday is a place to which Byrne would like to return. He knows that he would immediately receive a great deal of attention if only he would kiss and make up with the Heads, but he's adamant about his unwillingness to do so. "Chris and Tina, especially, would berate me and tell me how horrible I was, and then after berating me for an hour, they'd say, 'So, David, let's get back together.' And I'd be like, 'Wait a minute. I'm the wife who's just been beaten up, and now my husband is telling me how much he loves me and how we should stay together?' Well, I'm not stupid. I'm getting out.

"You can believe whatever you want to believe. But in the end, marriages fail. Everybody on both sides has terrible stories to tell about the other side, but what difference does it make, really? It's over."

David Byrne. 7:30 p.m. Monday, August 25, Paramount Theatre, 1631 Glenarm Place, $23.50, 623-0106 or 830-
