David Byrne offers a message of hope in new Covid-19 op-ed

Something to brighten up your morning.

Talking Heads frontman, global music ambassador and contender for patron saint fo being sound David Byrne has written an opinion editorial piece on his non-profit editorial website Reasons To Be Cheerful.

Entitled ‘The World Is Changing — So Can We’, the piece offers Byrne’s take on life during the Covid-19, how our collective lives intersect, the idea of returning to normality and even a little on how certain countries have successfully tackled the Covid-19 crisis.

You can check out his piece here.

Just one small thing, as important and celebrated a figure as Byrne is in modern music, he’s not a qualified medical expert (as far as we know). While pieces like this can be great at boosting morale, nothing a non-medical professional ever tells you should be taken as gospel.
