Jerry Harrison, key member of Talking Heads, discusses the remastered release of the iconic 'Stop Making Sense' soundtrack and the excitement surrounding its theatrical re-release. Kristin Hersh shares insights about her striking new solo album, 'Clear Pond Road,' reflecting on her artistic evolution.

Talking Heads and The Modern Lovers are two of the most influential bands of the ’70s and many would argue two of the best bands ever. And Jerry Harrison was in them both. Jerry and Marc talk about the blending of modern art and rock music that both of those bands helped pioneer and the environment in New York City that allowed groups like The Velvet Underground, Blondie, and The Ramones to thrive. They also get into the tensions behind the scenes with the Talking Heads members and Jerry’s rekindled friendship with Modern Lovers frontman Jonathan Richman.
