Jerry Harrison Pick

Kind of continuing the Talking Heads family pick obviously Jerry Harrison was in the Talking Heads since they started recording. He's also done some very good solo albums. Most people also know that he was part of the original Modern Lovers with Jonathan Richman before the Talking Heads and he was in The Heads when David Byrne took a break from the group. I always liked that side project with guest singers replacing Byrne. What many people didn't know was that during the 80's he did a side project anonymously called Bonzo Goes To Washington. It was a one off 12 inch single using a sample from Ronald Reagan on a hot mic saying that he was going to bomb Russia. At the time it was something Reagan got a lot of trouble for saying, even though it was a joke. Harrison took that sample and made a dance track out of it. The music is very dated, but it's still funny if you know the story. Not sure why Harrison still does not have a greatest hits compilation, but I like to think it would look like this. We Begin Bombing In Five Minutes!

  1. Hey Pol, this is bizarre: I too was able to download Worrell 1, but nothing since! I changed nothing in my tech configuration.

    Many thanks for your unstinting efforts to create very original content!

    1. I was having exact same problem since Worrell 1. It spun forever or eventually downloaded and then file was empty.

      Solution: I turned off my ad blocker and now it works fine again.
