David Byrne is just a few years older than me, and from his early days with the band Talking Heads to his later work as an international musicologist and producer, he’s been a presence in my cultural life. His new book is a personal, thoughtful odyssey across a dozen cities, places that his busy career has taken him, and places that he in turn has taken his bicycle.
