After more than 20 rancorous years apart, a rerelease of the Talking Heads classic 1983 concert film 'Stop Making Sense' has brought détente, and maybe more.
East L.A.’s the Stains, led by wildman guitarist Robert Becerra, were one of the city’s original punk bands. Becerra died from liver cancer on Sept. 1 at age 64.We did, but the first night was kind of a wash. There was an idea to put lights over the audience, so you could see them reacting, but it inhibited the crowd. What you got was reverse shots with people sitting there, afraid to move.
I called up my friend at Warner Bros. to see if they could change the “Swing Shift” shooting schedule, and she said, “What are you talking about? Of course not!”Yes, they were promised that after the movie there’d be another tour, and then we’d bump up their pay. Chris and I didn’t find this out until three or four years ago, but the women musicians weren’t paid the same as the men. And they found out.And we didn’t charge much for tickets, so there wasn’t a lot of money.
“After the final night of shooting, Peter Gabriel came backstage with Robbie Robertson,” says Chris Frantz. “Peter had a little notebook and was making notes.”
