Make the Connection

Martin Scorsese recently made a film of a Rolling Stones performance.

Dave Rick was in Bongwater and King Missile.

Patty sings a Led Zepplin song on an NBC network television show.

Patty Smyth and Richard Hell were once married to each other.

Richard Hell was the original bass player for Television.

Chris Stein & Debby Harry's original lineup included Television bassist Fred Smith.

James Chance and Blondie were friends of course but the actual "connection" is he performed on their 1999 release "No Exit".

Two of the Raybeats are Contortions.

The Raybeats & "Black Francis" have excellent taste in surf covers. And they both like to feedback.

"Black" Francis & Kim played together in a small Boston band known as the Pixies. Both U2 AND David Bowie were fans.

When sisters rock. Breeders and Tom Tom Club are family affairs.

The Talking Heads rhythm section formed the Tom Tom Club and used both Moog Synthesizers and Bernie Worrell for the first album.

BW was employed by David Byrne for the talking Heads tour. He seems to have a bad case of the sniffles during this performance.

You can't go wrong with Jerry Harrison. Both a member of the Talking Heads and the Modern Lovers.

E.M.I. is pretty much Roadrunner. The Sex Pistols in fact used to cover The Modern Lovers' Roadrunner in performance.
