All of the touring musicians had an effect on Talking Heads, but what's most interesting is that a majority of these new members were black, and many had not ever even heard of Talking Heads before joining the live band. The new clash of cultures, arts, ideas, and music lead to some of the best sounds ever created in any genre.Season 1 is dedicated to telling the story of touring bassist Michael "Busta" Jones!
